Anaconda goes Python 3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello everybody,
as many of you probably know, Anaconda has been slowly moving to 
Python 3 in recent months. Originally targeting Fedora 22 we postponed
the switch to Fedora 23 [1], but we would like to start as soon as
possible. Actually, even before Fedora 22 is released, because from our
previous experience we know that it's never early enough to start with
testing big changes. For these reasons, we are using a separate
development branch [2] and a Copr repository [3] to create Rawhide and
F22 composes that use Python 3 Anaconda and all its dependencies. Of
course, the Rawhide composes suffer from the fact, that the majority of
revealed issues are because of instability of Rawhide instead of 
Python 3 related issues so we use Fedora 22 images, to search for issues
lurking somewhere in the dark waiting for Fedora 23 to be declared "GO"
and then revealing themselves. To our surprise, we have troubles finding
new issues in the Python 3 version of the Fedora 22 composes, so we
would be really grateful if any of you guys could help us narrowing down
the rest. The F22 composes are at
https://m4rtink.fedorapeople.org/anaconda/images/python3/f22/ so feel
free to download and test them. Please report the issues to our GH
project pages [4] and if you have a patch, please submit a PR against
our development branch [2].

If you want to read some more about the background and details of the
Anaconda's switch to Python 3, read the blog post. [1]

Thanks a lot in advance to all the early testers! We really appreciate
your "test early" instead of "complain later" approach!
