[gpsd-dev] Compile on CentOS 6.6 i686 (Python 2.6.6) - ValueError: zero length field name in format

[Jason Azze]

Hi, All,

I'm preparing a 32-bit build machine for automated compile and testing of gpsd.

The OS is CentOS 6.6 i686, which has Python 2.6.6 by default.

scons produces the following error. (1)

ValueError: zero length field name in format:
  File "/home/jenkins/workspace/build_gpsd_32/SConstruct", line 1425:
    ['''pep8 --ignore=E501,W602,E122,E241,E401 {} gps/[a-zA-Z]*.py *.py'''.format(" ".join(python_progs))])

Stackoverflow suggests I need at least Python 2.7. (2)

But gpsd's build.txt says: Python 2.x, x >= 6
