Hi,
I see that the factory has both python2 and python3. Are there any plans about switching to python3 as default?
I will also appreciate if the python maintainers can push=20 home:HighwayStar:branches:devel:languages:python python3-matplotlib

PS can we also, cripple kmail by default, or update the settings of our mailing list to accept html emails... It is bloody annoying to get your messages bounced back because of the default settings of the mail client.

I brought this up a while back. I don't think it is reasonable to have it as a default until the release after next. There are still too many critical packages that do not support python 3 (like all of django) for there to be a release in time for whatever the next openSUSE release is.

When there is an official python 3 release of matplotlib, it will be added. It should be out next month, so I don't see much point adding an unstable release now..

Since when is django a critical package?

Same applies for most of the Geo python applications in OBS, not ready for python 3 yet. Regarding django, it is a very popular framework and from my point of view, it attracts many new projects to use it these days. We do need to support it enough.
