I'm in the process of getting my main OS back on its feet (10.6.5 ruined the ethernet drivers). Ryan, if you have time would you care to do take care of this one?

Updated in r74556: this doesn't stop python26 from being installed since other dependencies have the old dependency as well.

Probably would have been easier to change duplicity back to python26 instead.

It's not like there was anything complicated about r74556; looks like the easiest kind of change to me. And isn't it a good idea to push things toward newer versions, rather than stagnate with older ones?

This sort of upgrade should become a ripple effect regardless of when it happens. One of timedrive dependencies started using python27. Now it uses python27. Now the rest of the dependencies should start upgrading as well.
I might just open a ticket whenever I find a dependency of my ports pulling in an off-version of python.

Whatever, just pick one version across the board. Changing things over one at a time so multiple versions get installed in the interim is lame. And make sure the new version actually works (#27801).

May I cite this ticket as permission for updating packages maintained by others?

From the fine ticket, "Might be a PytQt bug instead."

No. Ask the maintainer's permission and wait 3 days as usual.

The precise location of the fault is irrelevant. The change caused the port to stop working. (Unless it works for you, in which case you should probably mention that on the other ticket.)
Alrighty. Will do Sunday.
