Description Phlip Balister 2019-05-21 20:27:20 UTC

Python2 is EOL at the end of this year, one of the few remaining things that uses python2 is perf.

Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2019-05-23 14:44:22 UTC

This may not happen for 2.8 since it'll likely be the kernel.org developers who work on removing any python2 dependencies.

Comment 2 Ross Burton 2019-07-11 12:34:24 UTC

From the RH bug, it looks like the kernel supports py3 now so we just need to change how the recipe builds.

Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2019-08-15 15:50:27 UTC

I'm seeing some intermittent and unexplained packaging errors with the py3 switch done. But am testing this on more targets now and should have it sorted in M3.

Comment 4 Bruce Ashfield 2019-08-23 01:51:32 UTC

PoC is done. under test now.
