[webkit-dev] Removing Support for Python 2.5

[Rafael Antognolli]

Hello,  I should have asked on this thread before, but just saw it
now. But since it's in the same topic, what do you think about
changing python scripts from using /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2
?

I opened a bug for this some minutes ago:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71723

Regards,
Rafael
