OpenStack Compute (nova)

Does Nova have OS/Python version dependencies?

Asked by Kevin Fox

I've installed Nova on Ubuntu 10.4 and am having problems with Python stack traces when starting nova-* components. Is there a "recommended" distro and/or python version that I may need (checked the FAQ page, but not much there).

Thanks
Kev

It appears a revised version of gflags is required, but only found reference to this from some elses posting of pain and agony ... is this in the FAQ and I just missed it?
