Hi, We've just finished the transition to python3.8 as the default python3 interpreter, which was a bit difficult due to some autopkgtest regressions in a few rdeps, and to the fact that many modules only build their extensions for the default python version, which means they have a strict dependency on the python3 version[1] and they need to be rebuilt and migrated in lockstep with python3-defaults.
I have analyzed this based on current sid amd64 contents and have come up with the following packages that don't ship extensions for both py3.7 and 3.8 (which are the currently supported versions). Note that pure python packages that don't build C extensions are not affected. It would be great if this situation can be improved in order to help with future python transitions. Building for all the supported python versions can be done by build-depending on python3-all-dev and compiling your package (or just the python bits) with PYTHON pointing to each version. Depending on your package's build system, this could be largely automated using some helper, such as pybuild. If you don't know how to add support for your package, feel free to ask. Cheers, Emilio [1] e.g. python3 (>= 3.7), python3 (<< 3.8)
