Aaaand none of my packages that are installed "want" to use it. That's what I'm sayin'. Maybe if I ran ~arch they'd ask for Python 3.x, but I run stable, so *nothing* wants to use it. Every other stable user is in the same situation. You seem to be ignoring us, the stable users, in favor of rushing 3.x out of ~arch, like that makes some kind of perceived problem go away. > It does > not mean everyone should have it installed, which is what it appears > you think it means. Yet that's the net effect -- everyone *will* have it installed. . . unless folks start getting crafty with pseudo version ranges, as Zac mentioned.
