Description

To run the HOD pyunit tests, the build file checks that an exact python version is present:

+ <condition property="python.versionmatched">
+ <!--- Currently check for only 2.5.1 -->
+ <equals arg1="${hodtest.pythonVersion}" arg2="Python 2.5.1" />
+ </condition>

This is too restrictive (we have 2.5.2 on our Solaris build machine). I suggest that you don't check the python version and instead issue a warning message if the pyunit test fail stating that python 2.5.1 or great is required (and optionally showing them what version they tried to use).
