I do not know a lot in Python so feel free to correct me if necessary. Python 3.0 has been released in 2008, but Python 2.7 will still be maintain for some years. In the end python 3 will be adopted. Python 3 is not compatible with 2.x, at least not out of the box. It could be possible to have a client compatible with both, at the expense of more dev/test and less maintainability. So first solution would be to bring Python 2.7 compatibility to the ring python client. Another solution would be to integrate the Python 3 module gobject-introspection wrapper (gi) in BR before submitting the ring-daemon package. In my opinion it would be an error to downgrade what we already have to support only Python 2.7 and break the Python 3.0 compatibility Alex > > Thanks, > > -- > Patrick Keroulas > Consultant en logiciel libre, > Savoir-faire Linux Inc. > > 7275 Saint-Urbain, bureau 200 > Montréal, Québec H2R 2Y5 > tél: (514) 276-5468 ext. 167 > fax: (514) 276-5465 > _____________________ > > _______________________________________________ > Ring mailing list > Ring@lists.savoirfairelinux.net > https://lists.savoirfairelinux.net/mailman/listinfo/ring -- Alexandre Lision Meneur de pratique mobile / Mobile practice leader Savoir-faire Linux Tel: (514).276.5468 #320 ring:afae46a9a7359e9d2947e2acb8995ee58bdbfda3 _______________________________________________ Ring mailing list Ring@lists.savoirfairelinux.net https://lists.savoirfairelinux.net/mailman/listinfo/ring
