The new default -values will be: - - PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_7" - PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_7" - -If you have not overriden these variables on your system, then your -package manager will switch to the new targets immediately. In order -to avoid dependency conflicts, please clean stray packages up -and rebuild/upgrade all packages with USE flag changes after the change, -e.g.: - - emerge --depclean - emerge -1vUD @world - emerge --depclean - -Please note that during the system upgrade some of the package -dependencies may temporarily become missing. While this should not -affect programs that are already fully loaded, it may cause ImportErrors -when starting Python scripts or loading additional modules (only scripts -running Python 3.6 are affected). - -In order to improve stability of the upgrade, you may choose to -temporarily enable both targets, i.e. set in /etc/portage/package.use -or its equivalent: - - */* PYTHON_TARGETS: python3_6 python3_7 - */* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_6 - -This will cause the dependencies to include both Python 3.6 and 3.7 -support whenever possible, throughout the next system upgrade. Once all -packages are updated, you can restart your scripts, remove the setting -and start another upgrade in order to cleanly remove Python 3.6. - -There are still some Gentoo packages that do not support Python 3.7. -We will be pushing updates to these packages as time permits. However, -some of them will probably be removed instead. - -If you would like to postpone the switch to Python 3.7, you can copy -the current value of PYTHON_TARGETS and/or PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET -to /etc/portage/package.use or its equivalent: - - */* PYTHON_TARGETS: -python3_7 python3_6 - */* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_6 - -If you would like to migrate your systems earlier, you can do -the opposite. Note that if you are running ~arch, you may want to go -straight for Python 3.8 at this point. - -Please note that this switch is long overdue. Python 3.6 is no longer -receiving bug fixes. Its planned end-of-life is 2021-12-23 but we will -probably remove it earlier than that. [1] - -All above snippets assume using package.use to control USE flags. -If you still have make.conf entries for these targets, you need -to remove them. While using make.conf is possible, it is strongly -discouraged as it does not respect package defaults. The latter -can help you keep some of Python 3.6 packages without the need to -explicitly toggle flags per-package. - -[1] https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches |
