The wheels-based system knows a disable flag: https://github.com/chaoflow/nixpkgs/blob/python/pkgs/development/python-wheels/wheels.nix#L44 I think black-listing python versions means less work than white-listing. I guess most packages break either because of not supporting 2.6 anymore or not supporting 3.x, yet. Once we flag that properly, adding a new python version is unlikely to break a package. Wit white-listing we would need to add it to every package. -- Florian Friesdorf <[email protected]> GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: [email protected] IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC
