Hello FreeBSD Python,
One of the most common problems I encounter with python3
interoperability is when the concurrent option is needed and can be
trivially enabled. There is a growing list of bugs where this, on a
individual port basis, has been fixed ([0], [1]), is in progress ([2],
[3]), or is in my queue and perhaps others' to submit ([4]). On the
other hand, there are lots of ports for which concurrent is a no-op, and
lots more that don't support python3 at all meaning that concurrent has
little to no chance to cause harm.
What I propose is to enable the concurrent behavior by default and to
provide a feature to disable it when necessary.
I welcome supportive and dissenting comments as well as cautionary
remarks about the likely pitfalls of pursuing this.
<snark>
While it would be tempting to call the new feature something
unflattering like "i_hate_python3" or "archaic_upstream" or
"regressive", the most natural name is probably just "noconcurrent".
</snark>
Regards,
John
