#22407 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Python interpreter build inconsistency across versions

Reported by: akitada@… Owned by: petrrr
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: python Cc: jaroel (Roel Bruggink), jyrkiwahlstedt, blb@…, MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez), erickt@…
Port: python24, python25, python26, python31

Description

For example, python26 is framework build but python25 is not. Can we change this inconsistency to get it simpler?

2.5 is partly a framework build, and technically should be more like 2.6; however, making that change would require some severe pain for all people who have it and ports depending on it currently installed.

2.6+ should be like 2.6 is (2.5's method of framework build causes a symlink issue, if you search for "not a directory" during activation, that's the problem) and we really should be pushing everything away from < 2.6 at this point. I've moved some ports that way, but there are still more. Once done then hopefully all the py- and py25- ports can simply be removed.

Python 2.4 and 2.5 (as well as 3.1) will be gone soon. I guess, we can close this ticket as wontfix. Any objections?

I would call it fixed when they are deleted. Sounds more positive. :)

The old Python versions are still around (probably they could be removed by now), but I guess no one has intention to fix this anymore.
