no python3 package?
 

I'm glad Arch did the python3 transition and I agree with python3
being the default version (i.e. having 'python' symlink to
'python3.x').

But what's the reason for no longer having a package named 'python3'
with a symlink to 'python3.x'? It would make (/have made) the
transition a little easier, no? Any harm done in providing it?

I have no idea what you are talking about...

> pacman -Ss python3
testing/python 3.1.2-2 [installed]
Next generation of the python high-level scripting language
community/python3 3.1.2-4
Next generation of the python high-level scripting language

Note that testing/python will replace the community/python3 once it
moves to [extra].

Argh... sorry for not checking things properly first...

It's just that when I tried to update my packages (includer AUR) I saw this:

:: Replace python3 with testing/python? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: pyqt-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1
:: sip-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1

...and just assumed that meant 'python3' was set to disappear.

Hmm... I probably should have added a version to the provides line in
the python package. Currently it only provides "python3" and not a
version so the versioned deps in those AUR packages are causing issues.
I'll get around to that before this exits [testing]....

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for your quick responses and solution.

Um... did you perhaps not get around to it?

:: Replace python3 with extra/python? [Y/n]
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: pyqt-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1
:: sip-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1

Those are AUR packages, you need to ask their maintainers in the AUR to
make the necessary changes.

Learn2read, please. I was given the impression that this was going to
be solved with the python package:

Note the part: "I'll get around to that before this exits [testing]"...
