Then ESR got bumped to 60. Nightly is now 61 and free of ESR. And I just submitted patches for review that establish the Python 3.5+ requirement. So this is a courtesy heads up that builds will soon require Python 3.5+. `configure` today has a "checking for Python 3" line that will tell you if things will "just work" once this lands. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
