Open MPI packagers —
There’s active work going on to (slowly) convert the Perl scripts used in Open
MPI’s build process to Python >= v3.7 for the Open MPI 6.0.x series. That
being said, even with this work, I’m sure we won’t eliminate the Perl build
requirement before v6.0.0.
Depending on how packagers build Open MPI, you may have effectively already had
a Python 3 build requirement. But these changes would require Python 3 for
*all* build scenarios — even for build-from-tarball-source end users.
Does anyone have any opinions on Open MPI v6.x adding Python >=v3.7 as a build
requirement? Possibilities include:
“No problem / I don’t care"
“This is terrible! Let me tell you why…”
…something else
I’d love to hear your thoughts here.
Thanks!
