Can anyone volunteer to help with a Python 2.5 / Python 2.4 code issue?

So where's the 2.5-only code?


triagedb uses sqlalchemy, and that API changed a bit between 0.3 and
0.4.  EPEL5 contains 0.3, and I see "SQLAlchemy>=0.3.10" in
the ./triageweb/setup.py.  However most of the Fedora Infrastructure
uses 0.4 on EL5 IIRC (please correct me if I'm wrong).


It's TurboGears, so run the app by invoking "start-fedoratriage.py".
One gotcha that confused me for a while, "dev.cfg" has:
   server.webpath = "/triageweb/"
so the URL you have to browse to is http://0.0.0.0:8080/triageweb , not
http://0.0.0.0:8080/ as prompt from start-fedoratriage.py suggests (the
latter gives a 404)


Hope this helps
