Though the existing method is perfectly fine in itself, it is wrong for it to ignore the DEFAULT_VERSIONS method used by all (?) other "ecosystems". As I type this, Bugzilla also helpfully lists other potentially-related problems: Bug #207809 and Bug #207937. It would seem, DEFAULT_VERSIONS _may sometimes_ play a role in determining python-version, but, as Bug #209204 shows, not _always_ -- and _never_ officially. This needs fixing -- DEFAULT_VERSIONS ought to become the "source of truth"= for Python-version as it already is (and is documented to be) for other things. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
