  • Can I count on Python 2 in bullseye?

    From Jorge P. de Morais Neto@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 14 14:50:02 2021
    Hi.

    Are there plans to remove the basic Python 2 packages from bullseye? I
    want Python 2 because I use the Python 2 version of OfflineIMAP (which I installed outside apt). There is a Python 3 port, but it is very recent
    and I do not know if it has been well tested.

    Regards

    Hi.

    Dear Jorge,

    Are there plans to remove the basic Python 2 packages from bullseye? I
    want Python 2 because I use the Python 2 version of OfflineIMAP (which I installed outside apt). There is a Python 3 port, but it is very recent
    and I do not know if it has been well tested.

    Disclaimer: I’m not the maintainer so this is just the response of a random DD
    hanging around.

    Python 2 has been removed from Bullseye intentionally a couple of weeks/months ago, and won’t be reintroduced as Python 2 maintenance has stopped upstream.

    The ship for Python 3 has sailed long ago so if you need to depend on Python 2-only code you will need to stay on Buster. And looking forward you should probably work with the upstream projects you depend on to ensure they have Python 3 compatible versions available.


    Happy hacking !

    Niels Thykier has politely explained me (in private, though) that this
    list is not meant for support questions. It is meant for test results
    from installation and upgrades.

    I believe, however, that the list description on <https://lists.debian.org/devel.html> could be updated. It currently
    says just "Testing for the next release". I suggest it should read
    "Testing for the next release---test results from installation and
    upgrades."

    I will send this suggestion to <mailto:listmaster@lists.debian.org>.

    Regards
