Hello, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This is the formal reminder to work on porting your packages |
| 4 |
to Python 3.10. According to the timeline announced earlier, we'd like |
| 5 |
to switch the default interpreter to Python 3.10 in July. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
As usual, there are a few porting tips in the Python Guide [1]. |
| 8 |
However, there weren't many this time. If you hit any specific issues |
| 9 |
and feel like they should be mentioned there, please let me know |
| 10 |
and I'll document them. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
As usual, qa-reports hosts list of packages pending py3.10 support |
| 13 |
in text [2] and SVG graph [3] forms. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
There are also a few packages pending py3.9 support still [4,5]. While |
| 16 |
we're not aiming at py3.8 removal anytime soon, it'd be nice to get them |
| 17 |
out of the way (except for the backports). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Finally, PyPy upstream has release PyPy3.9 7.3.8rc1 (i.e. Python 3.9 |
| 20 |
compatible version, considered alpha right now). Right now it has |
| 21 |
multiple issues but there's a good chance that 7.3.8 final will be |
| 22 |
usable. I've pushed it unkeyworded; feel free to test it but not sure |
| 23 |
that some packages are broken (dev-python/lxml in particular). Still, |
| 24 |
if you want to help out, the milestone for tracking bugs is at [6]. |
