This is still a big mess in Gentoo and MacPorts, though. MacPorts hasn't done anything about ceating a transition infrastructure AFAICT. Gentoo has its "eselect python set VERSION" stuff, but it's very dangerous to set to a Python 3 version, as many things go permanently wonky once you do. (So far I've been able to work around problems this creates, but it's not much fun.) I have no experience with this in Debian, Red Hat (and derivatives) or *BSD, but I have to suspect they're no better. (Well, maybe Red Hat has learned from its 1.5.2 experience! :-) I don't have any connections to the distros, so can't really offer to help directly. I think it might be a good idea for users to lobby (politely!) their distros to work on the transition. > I owe a blog post about this, but please do contact me if you want > to get involved. Yes, please, to the blog post! _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
