Public bug reported: Several times this cycle we have discussed whether to drop Python 3.3 from Trusty, since upstream Python 3.4 final has been released, and has been available in Trusty for a while, and has been the default Python 3 version for a while. I've worked to fix known ftbfs and other issues with packages that worked in Python 3.3 but failed in 3.4 - a notable example is genshi, which upstream has committed fixes to their vcs and I've backported to the Debian and Ubuntu packages while we wait for a new upstream release.
There are no known 3.4 specific build failures in main: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/ There are no python3.4 tagged bugs currently open: http://tinyurl.com/m8zqvjg It makes sense to me that we should not carry Python 3.3 into an LTS. Just before the 3.4 final was released upstream, Python 3.3.5 was released, and it has been retroactively declared the last bug fix release of the 3.3 series. Python 3.3 now goes into security-only fix mode: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2014-March/133213.html Removing Python 3.3 will save archive space and reduce space in packages with extension modules (we need to identify them and rebuild them, and I'll coordinate with Doko on that). ** Affects: python3.3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295153 Title: [FFe] Remove Python 3.3 from Trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.3/+bug/1295153/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
