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?
Dominique Well, it's becoming really hard to maintain packages for both versions. Because we have different packages for py2 and py3. It's just ducplicate work and afaik no other distro is doing it that way.

Indeed. We were supposed to unify the spec files but hey ! What happened to that ?
nobody worked on it is what happened.... i got swamped with other stuff, now i'm slowly getting back to this. anyone with any concrete ideas for implementation, please join me in opensuse-packaging to discuss that, or revive the old thread. in the meantime, several concrete ideas on how to accomplish this have popped up, including the very popular Ruby counterpart (where specs for different ruby versions are auto-generated from a config file) regards m. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
