Update the python requirements after r39553 and r39554. The subprocess module,

now used in configure.py, requires python >= 2.4. See the mailing list thread:

that users can run these tests manually with Tools>Reconfigure.
o Python 2.3 or newer installed to be able to import older LyX files
o Python 2.4 or newer must be installed. Python is used for many
simple tasks that are executed by external scripts, such as the
automatic configuration step and the import of older LyX documents
with the lyx2lyx script (this script is called automatically when
opening a file). Python 3.0 or later is not supported.

* Python:
Python >= 2.6.0 is required to run scons, but Python >= 2.3.4 is used by
lyx itself so the newer version is needed. Python is widely

python from http://www.python.org.

A decent LaTeX2e installation (e.g. TeX Live for Linux, MikTeX for
Windows).
Python 2.3 or later to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts.
Note 1: Python 2.3.4 or later is required for exporting LyX files
to a pre-unicode format, as previous versions are affected by a bug
about the normalization of unicode strings.
Note 2: Python 2.4.0 or later is required for the clean_dvi.py script,
which, however, is only used on Windows, where at least Python 2.6.0
is anyway recommended.
Python 2.4 or later to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts.
Note 1: Python 2.4 or later is required due to the subprocess module.
Note 2: Python 2.6 or later is recommended on Windows.
Note 3: Python 3.0 or later is not supported.
How does the LyX version scheme work?
