New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>: This is a potential follow-up to issue 31898, whereby the recommended packages list could be taken into account as part of CPython's own testing regime. The gist of the idea would be to:
1. Update the recommended-packages list to nominate particular *versions* of those dependencies (the latest available version as of each CPython maintenance release) 2. Add a new "-uthird-party" resource definition to the regression test suite 3. Add a new regression test that installed the recommended packages into a virtual environment and ran their tests when that resource was enabled It's a separate issue, since this would be more work to maintain than the simple "we recommend these packages" list proposed in issue 31898. ---------- assignee: ncoghlan components: Tests messages: 305211 nosy: ncoghlan priority: low severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Ensure backwards compatibility with recommended packages type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31899> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
