[Spacewalk-list] Status of Solaris support

[Pierre Casenove]

http://docs.python.org/release/2.4/lib/zipfile-objects.html
ZIP64 is not supported in python 2.4, it's been added in python 2.6

One question: shouldn't spacewalk request python 2.6, even on RHEL 5,
as it is included as python26 package? Or is it too complicated ?
It seems to me that python 24 is starting to be a limitation for you.
