<PRE>philippe makowski a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> 2011/7/13 Michael scherer&lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">misc at zarb.org</A>&gt;:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I would be in favor of treating python2 and python 3 as 2 differents languages.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The rational is that :
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - we cannot garantee to have support for both
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> -  we will likely have some module who would be updated only on
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> python 3 sooner or later
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - we will need to do upgrade of package at different time, since both python2 and python3 are
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> released at different time.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So rather than a complex scheme that will confuse packagers, just consider they
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> are separate, and use the almost same policy ( with s/python/python3/ )
</I>&gt;<i> And how do you manage package that support both P2 and P3 ?
</I>&gt;<i> (same source)
</I>
If we use misc's approach, we could minimize the urgency of the conversion.
If upstream supports both, we could either add a virtual provides in P2 and P3 
for that (to be used only by such packages), or support just P3 (or maybe just P2).
I don't know which is best, but I'd still like to help out.

&gt;&gt;<i> Regarding a review of all package, that sound like daunting task :/
</I>&gt;<i> yes, but do you see another solution ?
</I>&gt;<i> we can have a priority list
</I>
