Dear Friends, I was just looking for documentation about what's keeping us from getting to python 3 but couldn't find anything which I could lay my finger on.
I did find some obsolete documentation though on the wiki. The entries can be seen at - https://wiki.debian.org/Python and https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Python3Port The list addresses are of alioth glven therein. I am guessing most of those mails have been submerged in debian-python debian mailing list (i.e. here) probably. I was also looking for a BusterRoadmap on lines of the Stretch roadmap and the Jessie roadmap from before but didn't find anything :( https://wiki.debian.org/Python/StretchRoadmap https://wiki.debian.org/Python/JessieRoadmap I have also been trying to understand which packages/modules are remaining for python 3 to be the default-python $ apt-cache policy python python: Installed: 2.7.15~rc1-1 Candidate: 2.7.15~rc1-1 Version table: *** 2.7.15~rc1-1 500 500 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages 100 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Look forward to answers. I do remember of times reading documentation when the stdlib did not have all the libraries of a particular 3.x version. I also remember reading somewhere that we still used lot of python 2 scripts. Another could be that 2.7 will have support till 2020. In either way having a roadmap would be nice. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
