Hi, Firstly, I want to state clearly that I am 100% supportive to the python3 transition which took part in Archlinux a month ago. I installed libreoffice from extra today to replace go-openoffice. And all of a sudden, python is no longer required by any package at all. I checked the dependencies of openoffice, go-openoffice, and libreoffice, it seems that openoffice depends on python2, go-openoffice depends on python, and libreoffice goes back to depend on python2 again. In fact, the "required-by" list of python on the package website is quite short. Ideally, python2 packages will migration to python3 and the package python will be required again one of these days. I am just wondering if this change would actually happen in the future. When I tried to learn python several year ago, I felt a very strong reluctance from the python community to moving on to python3 and the split of language drove me away. After all these years, python developers are still so unwilling to move on to the new system. I hope python3 won't die this way, so that all the previous efforts in transition to python3 will not go in vain. Maybe we just took the transitional leap too early when nobody is ready except us. Best Regards,
