master (1.6.7) is broken? merge develop (2.0.2)?

[hugobuddel]

The master branch (1.6.7) does not seem to work, perhaps we can merge develop (2.0.2)?

I'm trying to follow https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Serpent which advocates cloning the git repository and explicitly states to avoid using pip to install serpent because the PyPI package is probably too old. But it seems to be the other way around: the PyPI package is made from the develop branch and is thus newer.

Following the instructions currently in the tutorial, will give you the master branch: serpent 1.6.7. This version refuses to compile even the first demo in the tutorial:

$ serpent compile mul2.se
Error (file "mul2.se", line 1, char 12): Not a function or opcode: def

Everything seems to work fine with 2.0.2.

I'll be updating the wiki page as I'm going through it, following the 'be bold' wiki guideline.

Yes develop should really be the default branch
