Comment (by pierre.labastie):
nodejs really needs P2. No way to escape...
gdb's python backend is P2 only, too. This backend is optional, but this
backend must have been built if gdb is present when running rustc tests,
otherwise, 3 tests (in the debuginfo series) fail.
One rustc test needs python2.7 (sysroot-crates-are-unstable). Otherwise,
rustc can be made P3 only, by changing any occurrence of '''./x.py''' to
'''python3 ./x.py''' in the current book instructions (not tried the
custom rust page, but I expect the same results, since only the
installation dir is changed). In this case, and if gdb is present and
built without python, 7 tests fail. I'd say it is still acceptable.
Anyway, I won't change rustc instructions unless instructed by Ken or
Bruce...
