Yeah, sorry about that, I tend to use Python 2.4 quite exclusively those days. Mark Rowe fixed that already in r3013.

[eblot]

Ok, no pb.

The trouble is that Python 2.4 is not available on every platform (not on Linux/Debian, for example: several dependencies are missing).

I think we should introduce a supplementary test to validate the Python syntax - against a particular version, shouldn't we ?

[mgood]

Well, I don't understand why the line wasn't just

props['name'] = name

But, eblot yes you can run the unit tests with Python 2.3 to try to catch an incompatibilities.
