#9611 closed (fixed)

FAQ should mention you can't use gis with Python 2.3

Reported by: jamesivanwhite@… Owned by: nobody

Description

For example see ​gis/maps/google/gmap.py for the use of @property decorator. This is in the 1.0.1 release as well as trunk. Docs state compatibility with 2.3 in many places (​example here). It would be trivial to rewrite these in the 2.3 syntax.

gis appears to require 2.4 or higher anyway.

Summary: contrib.gis has liberal use of the @ decorator syntax not compatible with python 2.3 → FAQ should mention you can't use gis with Python 2.3
Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Accepted

Well, that FAQ entry perhaps could use a bit of revision since it says you lose nothing by installing Python 2.3, when in fact you do lose the ability to use contrib.gis.

(In [9521]) Fixed #9611 -- Noted in the FAQ answer about Python versions that some contrib apps (notably gis) may require a higher Python version. Thansk jamesivanwhite for the report and initial patch.
