Python 3.5 final has been released. Does anyone have any thoughts about when and how openSUSE:Factory should make the switch?
I'm now submitting python 3.5.0 as a regular update for `python3` package into Factory.
There's a ton of new features and negligible amount of backwards-incompatible problems. One major thing that we will probably run into is the fact that python 3.5 drops the .pyo extension in favor of "opt-1" and "opt-2" suffixes to .pyc bytecode files. This might break filelists in some packages. Other than that, however, there shouldn't be more problems than usual.
Python 2, aka the `python` package, remains as it is. For the record, there are currently no concrete plans about switching `python` to Python 3.
At some point we might want to follow suit, Debian is/has switched to python 3 as default and Fedora is switching in Fedora 23, and to version 3.5 in Fedora 24. And yes it will be a ton of work.
