[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v2 0/2] Make Python scripts compatible with older versions

It was reported by Miao Yan that the kconfig-related Python scripts
are not working on Python 2.4.

Do we have any consensus in terms of Python version requirement?

This series avoids using "with ... as ..." and "except ... as ..."
statements.  But "with ... as ..." is used everywhere in buildman,
which means buildman requires at least Python 2.6.

It is true we hope tools can work on broad range of versions,
but it also means we have more restrictions when writing Python scripts.

I have no idea which version we should expect at least.
Your comments are welcome.


Changes in v2:
  - Fix git-description.  s/exception/except/
  - Fix git-description.  s/exception/except/

Masahiro Yamada (2):
  kconfig: make multiconfig.py compatible with Python 2.4
  tools: make genboardscfg.py compatible with Python 2.5
