python3 without any modification. Most python programmers are clearly not so interested in the bleeding-edge technologies. That's what makes me frustrated as an Arch user. Best Regards, > Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 02:11:56 -0500 > From: Isaac Dupree > Subject: Re: [arch-general] py

Hi, Firstly, I want to state clearly that I am 100% supportive to the python3 transition which took part in Archlinux a month ago. I installed libreoffice from extra today to replace go-openoffice. And all of a sudden, python is no longer required by any package at all. I checked the dependencies
