[Python-Dev] PEP 394 - Clarification of what "python" command should invoke

Hi, as Fedora is getting closer to having python3 as a default, I'm being more and more asked by Fedora users/contributors what'll "/usr/bin/python" invoke when we achieve this (Fedora 22 hopefully). So I was rereading PEP 394 and I think I need a small clarification regarding two points in the

[Python-Dev] Purpose of files in $(DESTDIR)$(LIBPL)

Hi, I'd like to ask about the purpose of files in $(DESTDIR)$(LIBPL) [1] - what is the reason to keep them/what are they useful for? I'm currently "taking over" Python packaging in Fedora and I'd like to know if these have some meaning for a distro-packaged Python (Dave Malcolm is not sure about

[Python-Dev] Python 3 as a Default in Linux Distros

Hi all, in recent days, there has been a discussion on fedora-devel (see thread [1]) about moving to Python 3 as a default. I'd really love to hear opinions on the matter from the upstream, mainly regarding these two points (that are not that clearly defined in my original proposal and have been

[Python-Dev] Building against system expat

Hi, I'm trying to build Python 3.2.3 against system expat library, that lies out of the ordinary directory structure (under /opt). I also have an older version of expat library in the system. No matter what shell variables or options I pass to configure and make, pyexpat gets linked against the
