I've been working my way through Aurlien Larcher's list of all OI
packages that are dependent on Python 2.7, upgrading as I went.
Apparently Python 3.5 is to be deprecated as well.
Python upstream ended 3.5 support a year ago:
https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches
Currently supported branches are listed at:
https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches
Now, I've come to "nmap". That package indeed depends on python 2.7
That's an upstream limitation:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/1176
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pulls?q=is%3Apr+python3+is%3Aopen
but also on
two other python libraries: pygobject-27 and pygtk2-27 . Both of
those libraries do not have python 3.7 or 3.9 versions.
PyGObject 3.x definitely supports Python 3 - we ship that in Solaris:
https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/tree/master/components/gnome/pygobject3
Pygtk2 does not - it's limited to the deprecated gtk2 and obsolete Python 2,
and as you discovered, the replacement path for it is PyGObject.
As far as I can tell, OI uses both gtk+ and gtk+3 libraries. Is this
correct?
Not everything has finished porting from GTK+2 to GTK+3 yet, and now
the GTK maintainers have released GTK+4 and moved GTK+3 to the deprecated
(but not yet totally unsupported) list alongside GTK+2.
