Hello, I am the (upstream) maintainer of pygit2. Python 2.5 is not supported by pyfit2, so one option is to resolve this issue as "won't fix". If you really want pygit2 to compile with 2.5 there is a simple patch that will likely still work, see commit eafcef38f6424c690db96241d9a44cd4360ef80a. However, the unit tests will not pass, and it is a lot of work to fix them. So, my personal opinion is that resolving this as "won't fix" is better than giving the user the impression that it works. Unless you do have the resources and the motivation to maintain a Python 2.5 version. (By the way Python 2.5 is not maintained anymore upstream, even for security issues.)
fixed
