I see both mate-menu and mate-applets require python27, but both build fine and seem to be running well when built with py37. It is possible that one or more applets that I don't use do require py27, but I see no reason for that requirement on mate-menus. The menus seem to be fine. Inkscape is another. It builds and runs on py37, but I have no confidence that it runs properly. I have not used inkscape in years and I don't really know how to test it. I am dubious. math/gnumeric is one I use daily and it explicitly states in the build that 2.x is required and it is not yet compatible with python3+. It appears that the default is to simply build gnumeric without Python bindings in which case python2 is not required, but the port makes use of it, so it probably needs at least some massaging. The big one is scons. It is required by virtualbox-ose, and that is rather important. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 >
