That's the kind of response I was hoping for! > bypthon2 and ptpython2 are REPLs for python2 - bypthon and ptpython are > the resp. packages for python3. There are a few other packages in my list that are part of the Python 2 universe (my own nmoldyn for example), but I see no easy way to detect them in an analysis of the package graph. Perhaps I could filter out packages whose dependencies are *all* from the Python 2 universe. > Regarding the qt packages: I updated them on staging, but still have > Python 2 in there. I will take care of these. Excellent. Lots of other packages depend on those, so that will be a big step towards Python 2 independence. LLVM/clang looks like another important building block to liberate from Python 2. I hope someone can take a look at that. Cheers, Konrad.
