[Rdkit-discuss] Is python 2.6(.6) still supported?

[JP]

Dear all,

A quick question - is python 2.6.6 still supported (this is the default
python on my current Centos distrib)?

I am trying to install THE RDKit 2017.03.3 on Centos 6.3 (for my sins) and
everything works fine (just needed to install boost-serialization as well
due to a weird linking error). The problem is that the following tests
fail:

6 - pyBV (Failed)
35 - pyDepictor (Failed)
49 - pyChemReactions (Failed)
65 - pyPartialCharges (Failed)
98 - pyGraphMolWrap (Failed)
107 - pyRanker (Failed)
111 - pythonTestDirML (Failed)
112 - pythonTestDirDataStructs (Failed)
113 - pythonTestDirDbase (Failed)
116 - pythonTestDirChem (Failed)

On investigating further, this is due to the assertRaisesRegexp(...) and
assertIn(...) calls. which were added to the UnitTest class in 2.7 ... so
missing in mine.

Thanks,
JP

Hi JP,

Python 2.6 is no longer supported (it's not supported by the python
community either). My recommendation for using the RDKit on Centos6 (really
on any system) would be to use anaconda python.

Thanks for the eye opener Greg! Will investigate anaconda. I have always
somewhat resisted ...

Have a good evening! And thanks for the impressive <5min time_to_reply
