Hi there! During Debconf, we decided we would not decide yet, and see in November if we think it's reasonable to allow Python 3.7 to reach Buster. Time has passed, RC bugs have been fixed, and now is probably the time to open this thread.
To me, as much as the OpenStack packages are concerned, I'm kind of fine with 3.7, modulo fixing this bug in Glance: https://bugs.debian.org/911947 which I forwarded here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1800601 It looks like this bug is 3.7.1 specific (ie: there's no bug if using Python 3.7.0). Upstream had a look, and didn't find a way to fix (yet). Help appreciated. It looks like everything else in OpenStack works. What is the situation for other packages? Do we have lots of Python 3.7 problems remaining? If so, it'd be nice to have them listed somewhere, so we have a clear picture of what's going on. Do other fellow DD also think it's kind of ok to keep 3.7 in Buster? Also, Doko, do you plan on upgrading to newer point release? Python 3.7.1-rc1 and 3.7.1 both were the cause of troubles for me. I just hope this wont happen again (though I'd understand if you wished to upgrade once more before the freeze). In any ways, it'd be nice to communicate what you're planning on doing. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
