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?

Well, it's becoming really hard to maintain packages for both versions.
Wasn't the spec file unification plan supposed to solve that problem? What happened to that? The lack of single-spec-file support is also holding us back from supporting popular alternative Python implementations like Pypy, which is infeasible if we need a separate spec file per python version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
