[Slackbuilds-users] Support for Python 3 in python-pillow?

[Larry Hajali]

I've been on the fence about adding that auto-detection in my python
slackbuilds.  Some people think that this should be an option set at build
time to add python3 support by using a variable.

Eg.

if ["${PYTHON3SUPPORT:-no}" == "yes" ]; then

  python3 setup.py install --root=$PKG

fi


I'm not opposed to that, but I'm also not sure how to handle packages that
put files in /usr/bin directory (like python-pillow) for python2 and
python3 scripts.  If python3 files are built after python2 files, then
everything in /usr/bin/* will have a shebang with #!/usr/bin/python3.  I'm
not sure that is a desired outcome.

It may be best to create a second python3 package for python-pillow and
possibly other python slackbuilds that support python3 to avoid file
conflicts.

Thanks,
--Larry
