Re: Q: Python 2 vs Python 3 and wxgtk2.8 vs wxgtk3.0



[ I filed the bug against GNUmed to migrate to python3. Dropping that
bug in my reply since it has NOTHING to do with the real bug. At least
a new bug "wxwidgets should provide a python3 package" then blocks the
gnumed bug, but it's not something one should handle there ]

thankfully the package only Recommends: python-uno..

If Recently means "> 1 year ago", yeah... (But yeah, I added a comment
there recently.)

debian-python doesn't maintain wxwidgets, you probably have more luck
asking the wxwidgets maintainers why there's no python3 variant.

TTBOMK the position is "build a python3 variant if your package supports
python3 and try to port it".

But given how many upstreams did not react on python3 in any way even though
that is the ONLY supported python version in "stock" LO 4.x. since > 1 year
(python-uno is a debian-specific hack) I don't have much hope that it supports
python3 now...
