How to write Python code that is able to properly require a minimal python version?

Question

I would like to see if there is any way of requiring a minimal python version.

I have several python modules that are requiring Python 2.6 due to the new exception handl

Answer 1

I'm guessing you have something like:

import module_foo
...
import sys
# check sys.version

but module_foo requires a particular version as well? This being the case, it is perfectly valid to rearrange your code thus:

import sys
# check sys.version
import module_foo

Python does not require that imports, aside from from __future__ import [something] be at the top of your code.
