Python3 bindings are upstream: commit 66dfdff03d196e51322c6a85c0d8db8bb2bdd655 "perf tools: Add Python 3 support". Given that this missed 18.04 LTS (and 17.10), the next logical target would be 18.10, which will not be supported into 2020. Is the lack of support for Python2 bindings in 2020 an issue for 18.10? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707875 Title: [18.04] include support for Python bindings in "perf" Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project: Fix Committed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Paul A.
