      Back to Python 3.9, which seems to be the best version to use at this time.
That said, I agree.

I've been following this thread, was well aware of this and waiting for it to appear in ChangeLog.txt There probably should have been a note at the top of ChangeLog.txt. The quote @marav posted would have been sufficient. One can maybe assume outside of the obvious "py", "python" packages everything "Rebuilt" was against python 3.9; however there are a few "Upgraded" in there too that need python. Any way my preferred mirror hasn't picked up the changes yet, so I wait until after the next cron job tomorrow. To start dealing with this and the real gotcha in that ChangeLog.txt
I for one, I know few forums that tracks the latest changes in :
- kernel
- proposed DEs : KDE and XFCE
- Nvidia
- VirtualBox
- last release of various softwares

And who publishes the changelog of the last updates

Confused regard the "I for one" in response to what?

Those are all awesome things about "this" forum. I wouldn't know what other distribution forums are doing. This forum is the only distribution forum I use.

As for the fifth item on the list, that is debatable. Doesn't really matter anyway.

To answer that last question, you do, thanks for that. :hattip:

None of this changes my opinion and the fact that I agreed with marrowsuck, that a note at the top of that entry in ChangeLog.txt would have been nice.

Off line for a while; going back to python3.9 (after upgrading to current current):
Code:
bash-5.1# ls -l /usr/lib64/python3.10/site-packages/  | wc -l
468
will be half of that;-) egg-info leads to a doubling...
Code:
ls -l /usr/lib64/python3.10/site-packages/  | grep -v 'info' | wc -l
256

Not specificaly your post (I'll give you that, quoting your post is not very relevant)
I'm just giving my opinion that when a forum provides a certain amount of information, it's hard to complain about not having it.

Everyone should be able to figure it out on their own.

Hello everyone;

I made a lot of noise over this python thing the other day, I did not mean to be rude to Mr. Patrick Volkerding or jump over his head.
I get to use and enjoy Slackware for free, I am very grateful for that. I like to think I am not the only one frustrated without a release.

I am not a python expert at all. Also one needs to know a lot more than few things about Slackware to decide which package to include / exclude from Slackware.
In short what I want to say is that I know a lot less than I seem to ... if anyone got mad at me; here is a song for you.

Have great weekend everyone
Wael Hammoudeh

I saw Chuck play that song back in 1995.

No worries, not mad, and have a good weekend yourself!

That would have been my answer, too.

Now it was already added, I voted to keep it, I still do hold this opinion. When I say the whole world is moving to 3.10, I am not concerned with other distribution here, all python code is going to be ported to 3.10 and soon.
I didn’t vote, since I didn’t feel like I understood enough about the consequences of either option. My gut feeling kept telling me that upgrading to 3.10 at this time was somewhat over-ambitious and would only result in further delaying the Slackware 15.0 stable release for no apparent advantage, as far as I could see.

I think I’ll try and remember to treat my gut feeling with the kind of respect that it obviously deserves, should a similar question come up again sometime in the future. I guess I’d better vote, then, according to what it is trying to tell me.

Since reinstalling python-3.9 and all the other stuff, some gui's are working again. There were crashes when resizing windows (Carla, and maybe RaySession); Is this becauseo 3.10 might not gel well with PyQt5?
