Grs,

I don't think you are missing anything. As long as the *version* of a Python
module is the same for
Python 2 and Python 3, then it makes sense to have them in a single package or
SlackBuild. As I
mentioned in my other email, there are rare cases where this isn't possible:
IPython won't go above 5.x
for Python 2 but is on 7.x for Python 3.
Otherwise, keeping them together is usually the way to go.

there seems to be a variation of support in the python scripts. Having the
script produce both pthon2 and
python3 files would be useful. I am in the process of updating thonny ( a
python ide) which has new deps,
and pyserial is an example where it only does python2. Repeating the python
setup.py install --root=$PKG in
the slackbuild
but changing python to python3 fixes that, but I created a separate
slackbuild,(not yet submitted) because
most of the python packages I have seen so fave have two separate packages, a
pkgname and a
python3-pkgname.
Should I make new python packages create both sets of files, or create separate
python2 and python3
packages ?
(i'm working on mypy and mypy_extensions at the moment)

What I did with pudb, the python debugger, is have options for
building either or both, so the user can decide. If someone only
wants to debug python3 code I'm not going to foist an extra load of
python2 code on them.

thanks dave,
currently i need python3 versions of docutils, pyserial, mypy and
mypy_extensions. I am happy to submit separate python3 versions, or I
could request Robby Workman and Cristiano Urban update their builds to
add python3 support (for the first 2). I'm just trying to find out what
the "normal" should be. That also effects documentation, because if one
script generates both (python2 and 3 files) you only need one set of
documentation, but if you use two build scripts, the documentation would
need to be in different places to avoid loosing it if you had both
installed, and just removepkg one of them.
regards, Tim
