Subject: Proposal: Adding unversioned aliases to python3 binaries
Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 16:42:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57124F47.3030803@crazy-compilers.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm stepping into problems packaging python modules again and again
since Python 3.4 is not available  as `python`. Same for pip, and other
binaries in the python-3 package.

I propose
a) for python 3: adding symlinks from the unversioned binary name (e.b.
python) to the versioned
   ones (e.g. python3.4).
b) for python 2: adding symlinks from version binary names to unversion
ones -- for symmetry.


I'd appreciate if somebody more skilled in guix could implement this
(soon :-), so I could continue packaging stuff required for testing the
django framework.


Here is a list of required aliases for python 3:

easy_install-3.4 -> easy_install
idle -> idle3.4
pip -> pip3.4
pydoc -> pydoc3.4
python -> python3.4
python-config -> python3.4-config

And here for python 2:

2to3-2.7 -> 2to3*
idle2 -> idle
idle2.7 -> idle
pydoc2 -> pydoc
pydoc2.7 -> pydoc
