Subject: [bug#56769] [PATCH] gnu: wrap-python3: Clarify relationship with wrapped package.
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2022 16:05:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <61a803dbf366b7ab4365b91d23663a8620b64c7f.1658779495.git.philip@philipmcgrath.com> (raw)

The previous description could give the impression that the user faced a
choice between `python` and `python3`, but could not have both at once.
In fact, the packages `python-wrapper` and `python-minimal-wrapper`
already provide both sets of names.

* gnu/packages/python.scm (wrap-python3)[description]: Tweak.
