Could somebody change the alioth documentation, have a buster roadmap and know what's missing to move to python 3 entirely.
Dear Friends,
I was just looking for documentation about what's keeping us from
getting to python 3 but couldn't find anything which I could lay my
finger on.
I did find some obsolete documentation though on the wiki. The entries
can be seen at -
https://wiki.debian.org/Python
and
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Python3Port
The list addresses are of alioth glven therein. I am guessing most of
those mails have been submerged in debian-python debian mailing list
(i.e. here) probably.
I was also looking for a BusterRoadmap on lines of the Stretch roadmap
and the Jessie roadmap from before but didn't find anything :(
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/StretchRoadmap
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/JessieRoadmap
I have also been trying to understand which packages/modules are
remaining for python 3 to be the default-python
$ apt-cache policy python
python:
Installed: 2.7.15~rc1-1
Candidate: 2.7.15~rc1-1
Version table:
*** 2.7.15~rc1-1 500
500 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
100 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Look forward to answers. I do remember of times reading documentation
when the stdlib did not have all the libraries of a particular 3.x
version. I also remember reading somewhere that we still used lot of
python 2 scripts. Another could be that 2.7 will have support till
2020.
In either way having a roadmap would be nice.
