    <p>Given Slackware's long release cycles implied by its release
      philosophy (when it's done) and the fact that there is already
      talk about python 4 buzzing around, I can see the value of "just
      sticking a version number on it".</p>
    <p>It's almost a certainty that we will see one or maybe even two
      new major versions of Python in the Slackware 15 era. The
      duplicity might be worthwhile, because we will end up with
      multiple simultaneous versions in the repository anyway.<br>

                    <pre class="k9mail">Hello,

Now that Python 2 is end-of-life and its support ended how should we
handle the
naming of Python packages? I'd be tempted to us python for python3
packages and
packages still built against both 2 and 3 and python2 when built against
python2 only.

I ask as I am in the process of upgrading Python3 in Slint to 3.9.x (I won't
wait until Slackware 15 be released because we ship 3.5.9, really too
old) and
would like that the naming in Slint be consistent with the one in SBo to
help
users check if a software "packaged" by SBo is included in Slint and avoid
installing a software twice.

Also, how to best handle the transition in case of a renaming?

Cheers,
Didier</pre>
