Upstream has (years ago) told us there was an end to python2. If it was just another app, but python is everywhere. I would not take the risk of future zero days that will no longer be fixed by upstream. The Calibre ( and other ) devs have been aware for a long time, or at least they should have when even an average user can be. If they weren't, I'd consider Calibre unmaintained which is sad, but a risk, i.e. a potential security issue.
I guess it's not that simple. Compare this to LilyPond, which needs an almost ten years old version of guile (1.8.8) and can't really use the 2.x series, because one of the features central to LilyPond (quick string copying without encoding conversion) has been replaced with something "better". The current guile 2.2.x series makes LilyPond work three times slower, which is completely unacceptable given that LilyPond is already tremendously slow due to very heavy layout computations. And no, the maintainers of guile are not listening. Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
