I don't think we'll be able to ship the blender-2.5x series for now. It requires python-3.2 and we use python-2.7.x.

From the CMakeLists.tx file:
if(WITH_PYTHON)
			set(PYTHON ${LIBDIR}/python)
			set(PYTHON_VERSION 3.2)

Comment 2 Manuel Hiebel 2011-04-16 10:39:44 CEST

Indeed, if it asks an integration of python3, rather for the next version then.

Severity: normal => minor

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-23 21:00:37 CEST

To be more accurate, blender can be compiled without python support; the problem is, this may disable some features of blender (the ones that depend on python support).

Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-28 04:55:57 CEST

Correction: according to ghibo:
Â«Well, some blender dev told me the UI of blender 2.5x is written in python 3.2,
so this particular version of python is a requirement. Have you checked the
package startup before uploading?Â»
