The use of dictionary comprehension in #468 caused support for Python
2.6 to be dropped. This change converts these comprehensions to use
simple iteration.
See b8a6dae for a prior example of dictionary comprehensions breaking support. This fix was modeled after that commit. As per that commit the test suite does not run in Python 2.6, however I have tested that
pycodestyle .
andpyflakes .
both pass when running using python2.6.6 and the unit tests pass when using 2.7.11.Potentially Travis could be configured to run
pycodestyle
andpyflakes
under python 2.6 to help with the "best effort" support so even if the unit tests can't run it'll help spot compilation errors but that's a discussion for another day.(Oh I'm using python2.6 rather than upgrading because I'm still stuck on CentOS 6 for some things)
