In pkgsrc, the notion is that each python module is built for all supported python versions (without attempting to delete 27 while it is still in widespread use), and each package simply depends on packages for everything it needs. On my weewx installation, I have all the needed python modules installed via pkgsrc. Your comment that a number of packaging systems/distributions lack things that arguably they ought to have is of course a fair point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
