I use a bbappend for python3 in meta-wayland for almost a year now because i had issues installing python scripts with /usr/bin/python shebang e.g. here in sway: Issue has been that, if adding this script to d

Re: [oe-core][PATCH] python3: add ${bindir}/python symlink

The serious need is that we need to patch all the scripts that ask for python to add a 3 to it. And there will be more of these going forward, not less. I’d rather just always have python available. Not a problem worth deliberating over to be honest. Alex On Tue 22. Nov 2022 at 18.41, Ross Burton

I have to ask you to resend and drop the DISTRO_FEATURE idea. We do not want to make the impression that python2 is supported in any way, and as explained earlier this implies that all scripts that ask for python would work with both 2 and 3. No, this is a clean break, and anyone who still has 2.x

[oe-core][PATCH] python3: add ${bindir}/python symlink

Currently /usr/bin/python is provided by the python2 package. If python2 is not installed, the built image lacks a provider for it. This results in failed scripts when using '/usr/bin/python' shebang. This patch adds a /usr/bin/python symlink for python3 to fix this issue. For images containing py
