python-3.1

[Rob Healey]

Greetings:

I am not certain of the release schedule for python, but is this a
possibility for F11?  Or possibly F12?

Sincerely,
Rob G. Healey

This is for F11. I believe feature list of F12 is yet to be finalized.

for the purposes of testing python-3.1, i downloaded and built from
the Python-3.1b1.tar.bz2 tarball, and installed (by default) in
/usr/local/bin and it seems to co-exist nicely next to the standard
2.6.

the only build issue was that i wanted tkinter and it wasn't located
during the configure step -- i'm assuming the already-installed
tkinter-2.6 is not sufficient, so if someone wants to suggest how to
get tkinter in there (probably from newer tarball, i'm guessing), that
would be useful.  thanks.

Python 3.x is incompatible with Python 2.x and basically will break the
world. That is certainly not suitable for Fedora 11 about to be released
in a week. Unlikely for Fedora 12 as well. Basically unless there is a
strong adoption from upstream projects using Python, it is going to get
postponed for a long time.

python3.x has nothing to do with gnome 3.
dunno where you got that from.

No. Its not been mentioned anywhere and python isn't a gnome
dependency anyway. There are python bindings that might look at moving
to or supporting python3 but its not a core gnome dep.

I see no connection between them. Where did you get that information?
