https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D233770 --- Comment #2 from Ruslan Makhmatkhanov <rm@FreeBSD.org> --- Hi Kubilay! Yes, you are right, this is just the first step in a plan of moving to pyth= on3 as default and we already did that in past without much problem - for examp= le switching from 3.5 to 3.6 was quite smooth AFAIR.=20 Then we can do more broad exp-run with python 3.7 as default to identify po= rts that are tied to python 2.x and mark them as such explicitly. This will all= ow them to work after switching the tree to 3.7 as default. I can't say how slowly the transition to 3.x is going, but ~1100 ports installed in my system are python3 capable, except the exaile and deluge. A= nd moreover, the current trend for upstream is to drop python 2.x support altogether like we saw it with gnome3, gajim, jupyter-notebook and scikit-l= earn to name of few.=20 While this should work, I'm all for discussing how to simplify the future upgrades. We may chat at weekend if there are no objections. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
