If we start to convert modules, but don't complete, then python3 will be forced onto live cds, in addition to python2. Looking at the python3 and python3-libs packages here, that looks to be on the order of 25-30M. Not the end of the world, but some extra space to save somewhere else. The bigger issue is probably with support libraries and plugins; it will get more messy than it already is. Eg: rpm -qi pygobject2 ... The pygobject2 package provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject library for use in Python programs. rpm -qi pygobject3 ... The pygobject3 package provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject library for use in Python programs. Yet, both depend on python2.7 ??? _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
