It's actually a lot of work to update all the Python packages to work with Python 3, since at the language level there are changes which make valid Python 2 code a syntax error in Python 3. In the Linux world, both Ubuntu and Fedora have huge efforts to make Python 3 the default. They are not done yet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/3 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python_3_as_Default Probably when one or both of those projects are done, it will be much easier for FreeBSD to change the default, since the Linux guys will have fixed a lot of the packages that FreeBSD uses. Most likely they will be done by next year. -- Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
