To: All Python stakeholders on OSGeoLive
The SciTools project under a GPL license, publishes and maintains a short
list of high-impact python projects.
One of those, cartopy, is the basis of multiple other package's graphical
display. The Science Short-Course
educational component, has been published on the OSGeoLive since edition 8 or
so .. as Notebooks.
Less than a week ago, the SciTools repo was updated with 'minimum
requirements' and some compatability checks.
I suspect that the SciTools team led by Phil Elson, had many of the same
discussions others have had,
about python 2.7 and python 3.5 or 3.6, the maintenance costs and benefits, and
their users in the large.
The interests and point of view of the SciTools effort, seems to be very well
aligned with the interests
and point of view on the OSGeoLive project [0]. I suggest that we take the
minimum requirements guidelines,
recently affirmed, as the same guidelines on the next OSGeoLive edition.. as a
solid step to high stability
in the python runtimes on OSGeoLive.
The proof will be in the coming weeks, as the versions and runtimes of
various components become clearer.
