Hello,

this project builds Python AppImages from the PyPa/manylinux Docker images. Python 2.6 is not part of the manylinux images. Thus, it cannot be added as so.

A workaround might be to build a new Docker image on top of manylinux1 containing Python2.6. Then python-appimage should be able to generate a Python2.6 appimage from this modified Docker image.

Yes, please! As there are a lot of software stuck in Python 2.6 (e.g. Blender <= 2.49b, etc.).

I see.

If you can provide me with this modified Docker image I would be glad to add / update python-appimage accordingly with Python 2.6.

Note that python2.6 would be installed to /opt/python in the Docker image, as other distributions. Then building the AppImage would work out of the box. I might be too optimistic though :P

I has no such.
