Subject: Explicit Python version check is no longer really useful.
X-Git-Tag: 2.0~11
X-Git-Url: http://thyrsus.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8af7b4fa7454adb1022fa104b5b109699d35a1f3;p=freecode-submit.git

Explicit Python version check is no longer really useful.

Because the json import will blow up if the Python is too old.
