Package: cython3 Version: 0.29.32-2 Followup-For: Bug #686045 Control: severity -1 important Control: affects -1 src:scipy
This bug is 10 years old! It's still current, affecting the new build system meson. scipy has recently started meson, so this debian problem has triggered the scipy issue https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/17808 cython itself is independent of python version in the sense that it generates both python2 and python3 bytecode. Today in 2023, cython2 does not exist, and /usr/bin/cython is not provided by any package. I think cython3 should just provide cython, either directly as the binary (with cython3 symlinked to it) or vice versa as a symlink to cython3.
