I figured it out myself that I have to avoid "python3-*" packages and instead to work with "python36-*" or "python38-*" as "python3-*" packages are marked as "category: _obsolete" in setup.bz2.
Are there any docs that describes policy for python packages in Cygwin? I had experience with https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ That document had answers to the most questions. I tried to search for similar information under: /usr/share/doc/ /usr/share/doc/Cygwin and in git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-htdocs.git and haven't succeeded. I'm interested in a package naming/versioning schema, a migration path across Python releases and the way of "pip install" to live in harmony with Cygwin. I don't insist on anything particular but some "official" generic guide how to cook Python in Cygwin would be helpful. -- http://defun.work/ -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
