Default Python 2.7

2010-10-30 Thread Joseph S. Atkinson
Is there any plan to move python to 2.7 for the 8.2/9.0 releases? From looking
(and running locally) it appears "feature safe", being similar to how 2.6 was
done. i.e. that 2.6 was the same as 2.5 with backported 3.0 features, while 2.7
is thus 2.6 with backported 3.1 features.

Additionally, (and I have already had to discuss this with one python based
project's upstream) you may want to consider creating symlinks from the default
python to `python2`. Some linux distros are starting to move to python3 and
projects are hardcoding `python2` to compensate.

I am not subscribed to a list, so please insure you cc me in any replies.

FreeBSD Port: python27-2.7.0_1

2010-10-30 Thread Sylvain Garrigues
Hello,

I am using FreeBSD 8.1 and I would like to know the reasons why it has been 
decided that the default Python installation is 2.6 and not 2.7.

Thanks in advance.

Add "PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.7" to /etc/make.conf.
