I want to add note here. When homebrew switched to python -> python3, node-gyp is broken. It is very widely used tool for web developers. Since Google was very lazy about adding Python 3 to gyp, node-gyp can't support Python 3 for a long time. But this situation is changing. Google added Python 3 support to gyp. node-gyp project is working on Python 3 support for now. I think keeping PEP 394 as-is until node-gyp officially support Python 3 would helps many web developers. -- INADA Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
