+<PRE>Hi,
+
+remember this first draft (<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=python_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=python_policy</A>)
+that is still a draft
+
+now we have also Python3 so we really need to write our policy
+I see mainly two majors points :
+
+1/ pyc, pyo management
+2/ having Python2 and Python3
+
+about 1/ :
+it seems that the best would be to package only py (smallest packages)
+and having triggers on install and on remove to manage pyc and pyo
+(That's in fact the Debian way
+(<A HREF="http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-byte_compilation">http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-byte_compilation</A>))
+
+if we go this way, we need someone to write triggers and people to
+review all Python packages
+(I'm ok to work on that review, for triggers, I have no clue on how to
+do, but may be that with some help I could try)
+
+about 2/ :
+
+again we have to review all Python packages to see if they run under
+Python3 or not and to package them for Python2 and Python3
+(I'm ok to work on that review)
+may be that the Fedora policy can help us for that ?:
