Hi,
the OS here is openSUSE Leap 15.2. I downloaded the PostgreSQL 13.0 source and
built it without issues like so:
openSUSE has no python2 anymore, only python3. The source database does not
even have plpython installed:
Actually it does:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/python?search_term=%22python%22
well, actually, it does not. There are still Python2 packages in the repo which
I can happily install here at home but not in the company. So I will run into
trouble if I install something here to make something else work, and then take
it to the company where it does not work. So, to maintain the highest level of
compatibility to the machines at work, I don't install extra packages.
I suppose getting them to install Python 2 is out of the question? It is
an official package.
But yes, that would be the second most proper solution. The first and utmost
proper solution would be for Python to finally stop that versioning crap after
years have gone by now.
Well there is always going to be versioning. If you mean the
incompatibility split, then for 2/3 that is not going away. There will
be a Python 4, but the core developers have said they learned their
lesson and it will just be an incremental upgrade.
Cheers,
Paul
