psycopg2 - support for version 2.4.2

Looking at the askbot pre-requisites, it requires version 2.4.1. however, most hosting platforms such as gondor.io and ep.io etc support 2.4.2

This is because, version 2.4.1 is claimed to have bugs.

What, if any, is the plan to support 2.4.2?

The fact that askbot is refusing to start with psycopg2 2.4.2 means that it doesn't work on a Fedora 16 install which ships 2.4.2.

I have patched out the version query and was unable to find any issues during casual use of my local askbot instance.

We're not refusing to fix this, we'll get there.

No - sorry. I didn't want to imply that you're refusing to fix it. Maybe you could change the startup routine to print a warning and start anyway?

Removed the startup routine now. The test cases pass... The problem was quite obscure and it might have gone away with the changes in the db schema/queries.

@Evgeny: The requirement is still documented on http://askbot.org/doc/create-database.html though. Should it be removed there?

(Sorry for the answer, can't comment due to not enough karma yet.)

Actually, it is no longer required (may be required to run tests, but not for the production use). Note taken - removed the clause from the doc - will be available in the next release.

edited apparently this is no longer a problem (not 100% sure yet though).

We did remove the requirement of a specific version for the psycopg2 module - (in version 0.7.30), if there are any issues - please let us know.
