Hi,
when building for older platforms (centos5, centos6) via our Makefile,
we embed a custom version of python 2.7 in the rpm ("buildrpm
--withpython").
At the moment, this version is "2.7.10" (which is from 2015):
 $ grep -rin "2\.7\.10"
 contrib/Makefile.python:1:PYTHONVER=2.7.10
 contrib/buildrpm:23:       PYTHONVER=2.7.10
Does anyone know if we absolutely need that version?
If this is simply an overlook, I would bump it to python 2.7.14 (latest
version as of today), and take some time to test the build on centos5
and centos6, then submit a small patch.
Any thoughts?
