Subject: | [gentoo-dev] Please port your packages to Python 3.8 |

1 | Hello, |
2 | |
3 | Following the timeline published earlier (and copied to [1]), Python 3.7 |
4 | deprecation starts today. All developers are requested to install |
5 | Python 3.8 and start testing their packages against it. While at it, |
6 | testing against Python 3.9 would also be welcome. |
7 | |
8 | QA reports provide a list [2] and a graph [3] of packages needing |
9 | porting. To be honest, the only major nuisance in Python 3.8 I can |
10 | recall right now is that 'python-3.8' pkg-config file no longer includes |
11 | '-lpython3.8' and packages that need it need to switch to |
12 | 'python-3.8-embed' instead. If you can think of other problems, please |
13 | ping me and I'll add some tips to python-guide [4] soonish. |
14 | |
15 | As usual, please add or fix tests to your packages. |
16 | |
17 | Python 3.8 is planned to become the default on 2020-12-01. |
18 | |
19 | Thank you all for your hard work! |
