Hi,
Python 2.7 will have no upstream support after 2020, and right now it no
more getting new features. So I'd want to start poisoning^W introducing
python3 into user system via ports tree and here is what I suggest to
start to do right now:
- if port has a build dependency upon python and it can be built both
with python2 and python3, force it to build with python3
- if some standalone application can be running both with python2 and
python3 and it have equivalent python3 dependencies, force it to be run
with python3
We also need to explicitly mark python2-only ports to simplify switching
to python3 as default at some point of time.
What you guys think about? If there is general consensus, we may enforce
this via Porters Handbook.
