Python 3.5 final has been released. Does anyone have any thoughts about when and how openSUSE:Factory should make the switch?
Maybe making `python` pointing to python3 by default, instead of python2?
Only this will break a lot of stuff, so will require considerable work.
I don't think we should be heading down that route... it's breakage for no valid reason imho.
Most upstream projects expect in their shebang that /usr/bin/python = python2 and /usr/bin/python3 = python3.
Breaking that expectation means we get dozens of broken packages. What would be the benefit?
I think there are two different issues that sometimes get conflated. One is changing what python version the base "python" executable is linked to. The other is which python version is installed by default. We can set it so only python 3 is installed by default even without changing what the "python" executable is linked to. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
