</div>it is true, but we are not talking to require python3 instead of<br>
python2, we are talking to require python2.6 instead of python2.4,<br>
that it is not backward compatible.<br>
<br>
Changing python2.4 in python2.6 allow us to start preparing the code<br>
to reduce the gap between python2 and python3. Therefore if one day in<br>
the 2016 or later (may be for GRASS8), we decide to switch definitely<br>
to python3 we should be able to switch without too much effort.<br>
