Overview
+Requires: python
Can we get NEW code using python3 please? PY2 is going EOL
Let alone that RPM should even auto-detect this as the binary installed in /usr/bin/ hopefully has a preamble correctly pointing to /usr/bin/python(3)
So "Requires: python" will always refer to python2 then? For me it is just the "canonical python" but if it helps I can change the line to "Requires: python3".
The script itself is python agnostic. Should the shebang then also point to /usr/bin/python3?
Is there a best practices guide somewhere for reference?
- python is python2 (rpm -q python -> 2.7.14)
- python3 is python3 )rpm -q python3 -> 3.6.4)
openSUSE decided against /usr/bin/python being a symlink to /usr/bin/python3, in line with python upstream recommendations, see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
As this is a distro package, the distribution 'decides' which python to use; in this case, yes, the shebang should point to /usr/bin/python3
Request History
mgerstner created request
I would like to add this new package which helps with the migration from
SuSEfirewall2 to firewalld.
This time tied to python3 as discussed in sr#595722.
