Mmh, I tend to admit that Sandro's answers can be blunt. I assume it may be connected with a busy life, but sometimes it's a little awkward. That said, I'd rather all of us to act/behave accordingly to [1], please. Because we're all smart people, with good intentions, who share common values (the ones that made us join Debian). :) > > > since astroid/pylint only support python 3.4+, it is not as simple as > > > package the new version and upload it; i'm not even (yet) sure buster > > > should have 2.0 but maybe it should to 1.9 > > > > This is a fairly common situation for distributors. > > > > Did you also evaluate the feasibility and practicality of working on a > > patch to introduce py3.7 compatibility to the current 1.6.5? > > no, i didnt look into it myself: upstream dismissed the forwarded bug > saying to upgrade to 2.0 to get 3.7 support. > > if someone wants to try and dedicate time to that effort, that'd be > welcome and please attach a patch here when ready. Would you consider repackaging 1.6.5 without py3 support and provide another package with exclusive py3 support? That'd ease the drop of py2 in a few years, and, also, avoid big horrible patches. If you agree with this kind of idea I'd be pleased to provide the new package work and a team patch for the current package. If you really wish to go by a patch for 1.6.5, I'll try to do it after the end of my PhD thesis manuscript writing.
