#51997: bzr: Add python35 variant --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: mf2k@… | Owner: raimue@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: bzr | --------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by raimue@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: bzr only works with Python 2. This is also true for the latest release bzr 2.7 that is not ported yet because of compatibility problems with other bzr-* plugins. There are not upstream efforts (anymore) to make it compatible with Python 3 as far as I know. I once thought about adding multiple +python2x variants, but the problem is that bzr and all of the related plugins (bzr-*) need to use the same python version. There is currently no good way in MacPorts to enforce such a selection of variants, or to automate this selection. Even if bzr had multiple +python2x variants, users would be required to use an explicit `-python27 +python26` on all plugins to use a non-default variant. I decided it was not worth to put effort into the bzr-* port family to automate this in any way, because * the development on bzr itself was halted * the user base will decrease more and more over time * there are no good reasons to prefer python26 over python27 -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51997#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
