This would imply that if SLE sticks with Python 2 as the default interpreter SUSE would be maintaining, on their own, Python 2 for roughly 9 years. I'd say that is unrealistic and thus it is a pretty good bet that SLE 15 will have Python 3 as the default interpreter.
So it is not decided what SLE 15 will do?
I'd prefer to go with python3. python2 packages will most likely be available for a grace period, to make switching easier. But this requires two things: a) The 'Requires python-foo' found in packages need to be changed to 'python2-foo' resp. 'python3-foo'. b) We need to get the packages having still the 'python-' prefix instead of 'python2-' or 'python3-' adapted soonish. My current assumption regarding the minor version is that we will go with 3.6. ciao, Stefan -- Stefan Behlert, SUSE LINUX Sr. Release Manager Enterprise Server Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Phone +49-911-74053-173 SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
