Comment 5 for bug 380866

Actually it really does require python 2.5. I ran this new package on jaunty after building the debs from the source package and under 2.6 I get:

jerdman@jerdman-desktop:~/pgq$ pgqadm pgqadm.ini install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pgqadm", line 10, in <module>
    from pgq.status import PGQStatus
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pgq/status.py", line 7
    def ival(data, as = None):
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I mucked around and installed 2.5 and then made some symlinks to the modules so I could run it and it works, but I get a bunch of:

jerdman@jerdman-desktop:~/pgq$ python2.5 /usr/bin/pgqadm pgqadm.ini install
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pgq/status.py:7: Warning: 'as' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6

So, it looks like the skytools folks will need to patch to change this variable name in order to run under 2.6, which stinks :(
