<KWierso|sheriffduty> gps: hrm, running ./create-test-environment gives me https://irccloud.mozilla.com/pastebin/eH9SDUkk
 <emorley|away> KWierso|sheriffduty: is this on Windows?
<KWierso|sheriffduty> emorley|away: linux mint vm on windows
 <KWierso|sheriffduty> emorley|away: seems this was an intentional switch https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools/rev/08a5a76f4c07
 <gps> KWierso|sheriffduty: you need Python 2.7.9+ or you encounter a pip issue i believe
 <emorley> gps: can we make create-test-environment fail early if python <2.7.9?

gpa, as the author of the commit that regressed this (https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools/rev/08a5a76f4c07) could you land the fix to make the script fail early? :-)

19:29 <atoll> i'm not quite sure how https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1201424 came to depend on a closed django security bug from august
19:29 <atoll> (1195989)
19:29 <atoll> but i wanted to point it out in case it's an unexpected dependency link of some kind
19:34 <emorley> the commit that landed to fix the security bug means that there is a now a need for python 2.7.9
