RELEASE BLOCKER
r71400 and r71401 changed py3k setup.py to comment out the installation
of the scripts for pydoc, idle, 2to5, and smtpd.py. This was in
response to issue1590 noting that python3 should not overwrite python2
versions of the scripts. However, unless I'm missing something, this
now means that *no* versions of these scripts are ever installed for
python3; that's not a solution. (Note, this breaks Mac installer builds
and probably breaks downstream unix packages as well.)
As hinted at in issue1590, the most consistent option would be to
install each of the scripts with a version number as is done with python
itself.
Whatever solution is chosen, some additional work will likely be needed
in the Mac Makefile to do the right thing in the framework bin directory
and in the Mac BuildScript/build-installer.py for the /usr/local/bin
links. No idea about the effects on other platform builds.
This also seems to be a change worthy of a NEWS item and doc changes. |
