py24-pydicom: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[ryandesign@…]

​According to the buildbot, the following syntax error occurs when building the python 2.4 version of pydicom:

byte-compiling /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Volumes_work_mports_dports_python_py-pydicom/py24-pydicom/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dicom/test/version_dep.py to version_dep.pyc
  File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dicom/test/version_dep.py", line 15
    with warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) as w:
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The install continues, but I worry that the software it installs doesn't actually work. Is this version of pydicom still compatible with python 2.4?

That file has the doc string "Holds test code that is dependent on certain python versions". Source is ​here.

Looking at the ​calling file in the directory, it's only ever used if the python version is > 2.5. (The with syntax was first introduced in 2.5.)

I'm calling it good.
