           Summary: Codegen secretly requires Python 2.6
           Product: Telepathy

          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-qt4
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

A quote from Felipe Crochik, who was building TpQt4 for Maemo 5, the SDK for
which only has Python 2.5.4:

---

In order to build the version 0.5.15 (scratchbox/maemo5/python 2.5.4) one
file (tools/qt4-types-gen.py) had to be changed. Replaced "as" with "," on
the "except BrokenSpecException, e" line:

 Generator(dict(options))()
   except BrokenSpecException, e:
       print >> sys.stderr, 'Your spec is broken, dear developer! %s' % e
       sys.exit(42)

---

We should integrate this change upstream and somehow ensure we won't
accidentally gain deps on newer Python versions again for no real purpose.
