I am currently testing packages and wait for TL upstream to settle down (recently LaTeX and several core packages got updated, so I expect some bug fix releases).

Currently I see just one python script in texlive-sience hille@sid:~ $ dpkg -L texlive-science|grep \.py$ /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/sympytexpackage/sympytex.py ..and yes it depends on python-sympy. Nevertheless I think we can drop the recommendation on python-sympy and the dep on python2: it will just break /one/ script. On github you'll notice that the script author already did some steps to support python3, but I guess it is not completed yet.

Python2 is dead upstream *and* will be removed, something written 20 years ago will have to be upgraded or removed (that's just how IT works), and that's the reason why we are a distribution and not just a bunch of tarballs downloadable from a single source: we harmonize and organize our packages. > So, let us happily break all this. alternatively, you can just actually check what would be broken and patch it, fix it, remove it. > I will ignore any bug report against TeX Live packages concerning > Python henceforth. it's unfortunate you decided to react this way, but that wont stop the py2removal effort from continuing, including on TeX Live packages Regards, -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandrotosi

Hi > could you please have a look at this bug soon? texlive-science is the Well, I will upload some packages at some point in the future, which simply upgrades all py2 to py3 deps, not taking into consideration whether the actual files/scripts support/can be used with Py3. We are talking about 1+ files to be checked, and the gratious deprecation of Py2 creates a bit of problems in TeX, where packages that have been written 20 years ago are **still** in use, despite not having a maintainer. So, let us happily break all this. I will ignore any bug report against TeX Live packages concerning Python henceforth.
