Comment 9 for bug 648624

Antti, you’re absolutely right, the new Debian stable (Squeeze, released yesterday) now ships python 2.6.6 by default, and supporting older versions is not really on the agenda.

Re: implementing the necessary function oneself and keep the functionality, I believe the patch I posted above is sufficient in that regard. Needs testing though.

In any case, I’ll update pyexiv2’s changelog.
