Re: [orca-list] Announcing Orca v3.7.4

[Peter VÃgner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
A lot has changed during the move from python2 to python3.
I would say it is not possible to just exchange python2 for python3.
In arch you can either install python2 or install python what will install python3.
Then there is a lot of python2-something packages and a lot of python-something packages.
Each of these python installatiations has its own site-packages directory where python libraries are installed.
So python2 and python3 can be both installed on a single system at the same time. You just need to configure which one is the default and what you would like to use is also controlled by the other packages. For example you could have both python2 and python installed and run either official stable version of orca dependant on python2 and compile a python compatible version if other dependencies are met as well.

Greetings

Peter

Hello to upgrade to python3, it says cannot do it because python already exists.

Is there an easy way to remove python2 without removing the dependencies then installing python3 and recompiling all the programs - like bzr for example that depend on python2?
