[ome-devel] OMERO build on Ubuntu 9.04

[Woodbridge, Mark R]

Thanks Josh. I wasn't intending to use Python 2.6, but my Ubuntu upgrade installed it and made it the default. Fedora 11 will also ship with Python 2.6, but it seems to build OMERO without any problems, even without your patch.

We'll be using Python 2.5 on our production servers for the foreseeable future.

Mark.
