I'm only curious why to make transition to python 3.9 was
chosen "debianised way"?
(yes, I am aware of the slight irony of me replying to this message with
my current e-mail signature :))
Originally was python package. Than was python python2 and python3.
Now it
is python3.9.
Why not is used still and just python and to provide necessary dependencies
during transition python3.8?
That way as well is casing that with each python major version upgrade all
macros needs to be multiplied.
Are you asking why python3.8 and python3.9 are separate packages?
If so, I think that previous messages to this list mentioned that many
people need to have more than one Python interpreter installed.
G'luck,
Peter
