I have to point out that meta-python2 hasn't even received a compatibility update for langsdale: https://git.openembedded.org/meta-python2 While this might be 'too soon' to conclude that python2 is truly dead, maybe a year (or two, or three) from now it won't be. Fedora has already made the switch, Debian will follow, and honestly, I just can't muster any sympathy for python2 users anymore. You can't push back paying off technical debt forever and expect others to accommodate you. Let me propose this: a PACKAGECONFIG for the python recipe that adds and installs the symlink in a dedicated package. We can keep it off for now, but somewhere down the line we could revisit that against established practice and what PEPs say then. Alex
