Hello all,

I note that Galaxy currently only supports Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6.

http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/tip/scripts/check_python.py http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist/src/tip/scripts/check_python.py

The last of the Python 2.x series, Python 2.7, was released back in July 2010. Are there any known issues with Galaxy on Python 2.7?

Hi Peter,

We have not yet tested on 2.7 although eventually we'll support it. At least one person who tried it said there were problems, but I don't know what they are. I think most operating systems are still shipping Python 2.5 or 2.6, so hopefully this is not a very pressing issue yet.

I believe Fedora 14 which is due in the next couple of months will ship Python 2.7 so this may become a problem sooner rather than later. We'd have to hold back the OS upgrade on our galaxy server if python 2.7 wasn't supported. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/FeatureList http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/Schedule Simon.
