acct_mgr-0.4dev breaking 2.4 compatibility

Thanks for the report. Sure, my change in [10738] introduced Python2.5 idioms.

What I like most is your suggestion for oddeven, nice. I don't get the idea behind adding yet another try.. level into acct_mgr/register.py - please explain that. Thanks for taking care.

Sorry for the lack of explanation.

We cannot combine both except and finally blocks on Python 2.4. http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-341-unified-try-except-finally

Many thanks for Jun Omae's report, suggested fix and explanation on the issue. Nevertheless with Trac-1.1dev about to drop even Python2.5 compatibility the days of Python2.4 are counted - even in Trac plugins.

Thanks for the explanation.

I understand, but can't reproduce anymore after upgrading my development system to Debian 6. Minimum Python version is 2.5 in there, but I guess I'll be forced to install a private 2.4 again in a virtual env, if such issues recur more often.

Same problem for me, being on Debian 6 also. If you find a package source for 2.4, I'd be interested to know.

(In [12398]) AccountManagerPlugin: Releasing version 0.4, pushing development to acct_mgr-0.5dev.

Availability of that code as stable release closes #874, #3459, #4677, #5295, #5691, #6616, #7577, #8076, #8685, #8770, #8791, #8990, #9052, #9079, #9090, #9139, #9246, #9252, #9547, #9618, #9676, #9843, #9852, #9940, #10023, #10028, #10123, #10142, #10204, #10276, #10397, #10412, #10594, #10625 and #10644.

Some more issues have been worked-on, yet without confirmed resolution, refs #5464 (for JiraToTracIntegration), #8927 and #10134.

And finally there are some issues and enhancement requests showing progress, but known to require more work to resolve them satisfactorily, refs #843, #1600, #5964, #8217, #8933.

Thanks to all contributors and followers, that enabled and encouraged a good portion of this development work.
