But there are still one or two things that need it (gnome-doc-utils being one, older Node.JS which will eventually go away, but also Pale Moon requires it for build). So I'm actually keeping a python2.7 package, but it only exists to meet a handful of build dependencies so doesn't get installed in the normal course of events, and I'm expecting to keep it that way for a while. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
