Any Python port unnecessarily restricting the declared version support is considered a bug. - All else being equal, there ought to be no work required for 'specifically' or explicitly flavouring any Python port, and instead leverage the automatic flavouring that is produced solely by declaring the versions that the software *supports*. Perhaps scons is differerent, but in that case, we should understand where and how, and seek to aim our effort toward addressing those questions rather than creating a potentially very short lived port that has limited utility, and comes with downsides. - It breaks with the conventions/mechanism that we have developed to allow arbitrary user-selection of their preferred Python version, while minimising conflicts between packages. We should resolve any barriers/issues with the main scons port not allowing, or not being currently appropriate for building with Python 3.x. Could you please add any relevant scons issue ID's to this bugs See Also field -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.help
