All,
I am sponsoring this case for Laszlo Peter of the
JDS group. The case directory contains this proposal.
I have set the timer for next Friday, January 30th,
2009.
This project will deliver Python 2.6 and Python 3.0
in a Patch release of Solaris. It further depreciates
Python versions 2.4 and 2.5. Though these all these
versions are parallel installable, only 1 version will
be in the default location. Existing projects should
migrate to either Python 2.6 or Paython 3.0.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Please see the attached proposal.
It's pretty much the same as the 2.5 one was, except:
- it includes 2 versions: 2.6 and 3.0
- older 2.x versions are declared Obsolete
Let me know if I need to change/add anything.
Thanks,
Laca

Title: Python 2.6 and 3.0 for Solaris
Case: PSARC/2009/???
Submitter: Laszlo Peter
Owner:
Timeout: ??/??/2009
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project/Component Working Name:
Python 2.6 and 3.0 for Solaris
1.2 Purpose
This project delivers Python 2.6 and 3.0 into Solaris. Python 2.4
and Python 2.5 are now Obsolete.
Release binding: Patch
2.0 Description
Python 2.6 and 3.0 are not fully compatible with the currently
shipping Python 2.5 and Python 2.4 releases. All of the above
Python versions are parallel installable, however, ideally only
one version should be included in the default installation.
New projects should target 2.6 or 3.0. Existing projects in
Solaris should migrate to 2.6 or 3.0.
Projects included on the OpenSolaris LiveCD must migrate to 2.6
as soon as possible so that we only need to ship one version of
Python on the LiveCD. Other versions will be available from the
IPS repository.
/usr/bin/python us a convenience symlink to the latest version of
Python 2.x.
Python scripts delivered to Solaris must call the required
version explicitely, not the /usr/bin/python convenience symlink,
e.g.:
#!/usr/bin/python2.6
The isapython2.x executable can be used to invoke the Python2.x
interpreter that best matches the instruction set architecture
of the running system. isapython2.x is specific to the
[Open]Solaris implementation of Python.
Projects delivering Python modules are required to deliver them
for all non-Obsolete versions of Python that are shipped on the
system. New projects do not have to deliver Python modules for
Obsolete versions, but existing modules must be delivered for
all versions.
Projects delivering shared object Python modules are required to
deliver both 32 and 64-bit versions, as described in PSARC/2006/666
2.2 Imported Interfaces
The Python library/interpreter itself only uses system libraries.
The various Python modules included in the SUNWPython25,
SUNWPython26 and SUNWPython30 packages import the following
interfaces:
