I'm not sure where you got the idea that Debian is a "server distribution". Lots of people use Debian as a desktop OS, and my team uses Debian for software development. I think SCons would be making a serious mistake if it dropped support for Python 3.5. Just because the distro is using an older version of SCons, doesn't mean that SCons shouldn't support the latest version of Python available on the system. This is particularly troublesome for me as I consider putting together a new build image, based on Debian 9, but with latest SCons installed from source. I'm all for cleaning up old cruft, but it seems like removing support for a version of Python that's less than 3 years old seems a bit aggressive. _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
