#2071: Python 2.4 compatibility broken
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  rgommers   |       Owner:  mwiebe
     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new   
 Priority:  highest    |   Milestone:  1.7.0 
Component:  Other      |     Version:  1.6.1 
 Keywords:  python2.4  |  
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 {{{itertools.combinations}}} doesn't even exist in Python 2.5, so that
 should certainly be fixed.
