I have a Pyhton 3.12 SlackBuild: https://git.caraus.tech/OSS/slackbuilds/src/branch/master/python3.12
I tried to submit it recently to SBo and my submission was rejected, because it would result in even move duplications in Python packages, so python2-packages, python3-packages, python3.12-packages. Maybe it would be possible to make all Python 3 packages depend on a newer Python 3 version provided by SBo and not by core Slackware. There was a similar attempt to submit newer ruby version. But, yeah, we’re not living in the world where programming languages are stable. > Am 02.01.2026 um 02:06 schrieb Glenn <[email protected]>: > > Actually it is not rich it is the latest version of markdown-it-py > (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/python/python3-markdown-it-py/?search=markdown_it) > that doesn't support 3.9 anymore.
