Sounds like that should be changed to default to Python3. On Gentoo, the Ceph ebuilds do the usual Gentoo thing, that is: Gentoo lets users select both a set of supported Python versions, and a preferred/selected version. User modules get built for all supported versions and binaries/tools get built for the active/main/preferred version. This is how I ended up with a Python3 ceph-volume, because most of my systems default to Python3 these days. Perhaps the same thing coulde be done on other distros, forcing all the tools to switch to Python3 while keeping the Python2 compatible modules? -- Hector Martin (hec...@marcansoft.com) Public Key: https://mrcn.st/pub _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
