When I changed the packaging scheme from pythonX-* to pythonXY-*, 3.6 was the
"3" version at the time, and the python3-* created alongside python36-* were
only meant to be upgrade helpers from that point forward.

Marco,
I noticed something a bit odd, which I'm not sure is expected or not.
If I install 'python3-lxml', I get 'python36-lxml', which doesn't do me
much good with 'python3' installed (which gets me python3.8 currently).

Asciidoc failure due to Python versioning
Hi, As part of the Cygwin Git builds, I've started seeing a failure from AsciiDoc: ASCIIDOC git-bisect-lk2009.html File "/usr/bin/asciidoc", line 101 except KeyError, k: raise AttributeError, k ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax It looks like the issue is that AsciiDoc requires Python 2, but only specifies "/usr/bin/env python" in its shebang, and Cygwin Python now defaults to using Python 3 at that path. For now I can work around this locally, but I suspect the longer-term solution will be to update AsciiDoc so it specifies the version of Python it needs in the shebang. This might already be the case for upstream AsciiDoc – I've not checked – but I do note AsciiDoc is currently orphaned; the latest Cygwin version is v8.6.9, released in 2013, whereas the latest version is v9.0.5, released in January 2021. I'm going to have a quick play to see if it's feasible for me to adopt the package, but I don't want to make any commitments there; if anyone else is keen to adopt it, please go ahead!
