This could be read in multiple ways, so to restate this (again for the Nth time, not sure why I'm having trouble getting the point across), I am just saying that the end result will be *both* versions. Again: *both* versions. Python 2 *and* Python 3. Everything could be ported, except Python 2 would still be installed even if no package on the host depended on it explicitly. (Hmm, I should propose a patch to add it to the manifest, right now it's pulled in indirectly) Which is a space increase, but we'll just live with it. (I'm not the only person who works on Atomic Host so don't take my opinions here as entirely representative or final, but I'm stating my opinions based on current resourcing) For how long would Python 2 be installed? I don't know but the conservative answer would probably be measured in units of major versions. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
