-----------
11849 Windows agent's Python supports obsolete Windows OS's
Since this release it's possible to choose the legacy Python environment, i.e. Python
3.4, thus
enabling full support for obsolete(EOL) Windows OS's. For example, Windows Server
2008, Windows
Server 2008R2, Windows Vista and Windows 7 require legacy Python environment.
To enable Python support for obsolete Windows OS's you should choose in the Bakery the
ruleset
<tt>Install Python runtime environment</tt> and set value of the drop list
<tt>Python environment</tt>
to the <tt>Deploy legacy environment(Python 3.4 + standard sets of
modules)</tt>.
Despite the legacy python environment is fully compatible with any current Windows
OS's, for
security and performance reasons it is highly recommended, if possible, to use only
standard python
environment.
