The long term goal for Debian is to reduce this to one stack, dropping the Python 2 stack at some time. <code><a href="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/">PEP 404</a></code> states that no more major Python 2 releases are planned, although the last released major version 2.7 will see some extended support, documented in <code><a href="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/">PEP 466</a></code>. </p> <p> Packages in Debian should use Python 3 if Python 3 is supported. New packages should use Python 3 from the initial upload, new upstream versions for existing packages should use Python 3 if the new upstream version supports it. </p> <ol type="1" start="1" > <li> <p> Programs should use Python 3, and should not be packaged for Python 2 as well. Python 3 should be used for the packaging if the packaging scripts use Python. </p> </li> </ol> <ol type="1" start="2" > <li> <p> Python libraries should be always packaged for Python 3 if supported. Python 2 libraries should be packaged, if applications found in the reverse dependencies are not yet supported by Python 3. </p> </li> </ol> <ol type="1" start="3" > <li> <p> Existing Python 2 libraries should not be dropped before the last reverse dependency is removed. </p> </li> </ol> <hr> <p> [ <a href="index.html">previous</a> ] [ <a href="index.html#contents">Contents</a> ] [ 1 ] [ <a href="ch-python.html">2</a> ] [ <a href="ch-module_packages.html">3</a> ] [ <a href="ch-programs.html">4</a> ] [ <a href="ch-embed.html">5</a> ] [ <a href="ch-other.html">6</a> ] [ <a href="ap-build_dependencies.html">A</a> ] [ <a href="ap-packaging_tools.html">B</a> ] [ <a href="ap-upgrade.html">C</a> ] [ <a href="ch-python.html">next</a> ] </p> <hr> <p> Debian Python Policy </p> <address> version 0.10.0.2<br> <br> Neil Schemenauer <code><a href="mailto:nas@debian.org">mailto:nas@debian.org</a></code><br> Matthias Klose <code><a href="mailto:doko@debian.org">mailto:doko@debian.org</a></code><br> Gregor Hoffleit <code><a href="mailto:flight@debian.org">mailto:flight@debian.org</a></code><br> Josselin Mouette <code><a href="mailto:joss@debian.org">mailto:joss@debian.org</a></code><br> Joe Wreschnig <code><a href="mailto:piman@debian.org">mailto:piman@debian.org</a></code><br> Loïc Minier <code><a href="mailto:lool@debian.org">mailto:lool@debian.org</a></code><br> Scott Kitterman <code><a href="mailto:scott@kitterman.com">mailto:scott@kitterman.com</a></code><br> Barry Warsaw <code><a href="mailto:barry@debian.org">mailto:barry@debian.org</a></code><br> <br> </address> <hr> </body> </html>
