| Arc | hey | 23:33 |
|---|---|---|
| Arc | does anyone know where bzr is on python3 support? | 23:33 |
| SamB | I don't think it's gotten anywhere really | 23:33 |
| Arc | its odd that while almost the entire python community has finished migrating now the vcs tools are still lagging | 23:34 |
| SamB | bzr is pretty dead-ish | 23:34 |
| SamB | did you see jelmer's blog post? | 23:35 |
| Arc | no | 23:35 |
| rozzin | Arc: Is Python 3k really supposed to entirely supersede 2.x? | 23:35 |
| maxb | That's the intent, as I understand it | 23:36 |
| Arc | rozzin: yes. 2.7 was released to aid in migration, but no more features will be added to 2.x | 23:36 |
| SamB | rozzin: they dropped the k, and I assume they were hoping to stop doing security updates to 2.7 at some point ... | 23:36 |
| Arc | there will never be a 2.8 so says guido, and i agree with that. | 23:36 |
| rozzin | Meh. | 23:36 |
| Arc | ive been using py3 as my /usr/bin/python for years just fine | 23:37 |
| Arc | and with both gnome and kde making the switch, and the major python web frameworks, etc... its only a matter of time before /usr/bin/python2 becomes unnecessary | 23:37 |
| Arc | im trying to trim down a raspberrypi image and looking at the things that rely on python2, it'd be a boon to be able to cut it out entirely | 23:38 |
| rozzin | It's like hearing "C++ is expected to replace C. All C developers are expected to migrate to C++", for me. | 23:38 |
| maxb | It's not really comparable, IMO | 23:39 |
| maxb | Although I have to admit I haven't even started writing Python 3 myself yet | 23:39 |
| Arc | rozzin: more like "Perl5 is expected to replace perl4. All Perl developers are expected to migrate to Perl5" | 23:39 |
| maxb | Partly because I have to still deal with some ridiculously old installations at work | 23:39 |
| Arc | maxb: the differences are so subtle as to be almost ignorable. | 23:39 |
| Arc | its akin to going from python 2.4 to 2.6 | 23:39 |
| Arc | a bigger jump than a minor, but no more than 2 or 3 minor revisions | 23:40 |
| rozzin | Arc: I don't know. Never knew Perl4. | 23:41 |
| maxb | At some point I'm probably going to have to sort out backported packages for Debian oldoldoldstable, if I'm going to use it at work :-/ | 23:41 |
