It will stay at 2.7 for 14.2

There's a lot of stuff that still defaults to Python 2 for bindings, so probably not.

Looking at https://rawgit.com/mythmon/twisted-p...ter/index.html I see much of Twisted is still not ported to python 3. https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/milestone/Python-3.x estimates 67% done, and it's taken them years to get that far. Twisted is the basis for a constellation of essential python-based apps.

A lot of other libraries have yet to be ported to python 3 as well.

Shipping python 2 makes good sense while the python folks get more libraries ported over.

It would be nice to make samba's doinst.sh to move the contents of /etc/samba/private to the new location /var/lib/samba/private.

Just in case someone who upgrades from 14.1 and has a bunch of samba users didn't look at the ChangeLog.

Cheers

I ask because I see files installed in /usr/lib for Slackware-current but in /usr/lib64 for Slackware64-current inside these packages.

I thought that in such a case Patrick's rule was to tag the packages i486 or x86_64 respectively.

Am I wrong, or is there a specific reason not to follow that rule in this case?

Python 2 for 14.2, for sure.

If you're a desktop user, you should be aware that one program that you won't be able to run on a Python 3-only system is Calibre.

im not understand talking arround python..

cause 2.x and 3.x series can coexist in same system...then the way is, when python3 arrives as a default slackware package.

not python2 or python3 // two better tan one.

I think they means any package that can use Python 3.x should be built against Python 3.x. While a good case can be made for that, there are some packages known to have issues when defaulting against Python 3.x. Python 2.x is still the default for many packages, so generally, until Python 3.x is the default and Python 2.x is the option, the defaults should stay as-is for sanity in packages and dependencies.

If Slackware ships both, then I want every Python library that it ships (PyQt, PyGTK, etc) to be built for both.

I'd prefer is Slackware holds off shipping Python 3 until it's ready to make it the standard. (And honestly, I think that can happen by the next release after 14.2).
