Description Newbyte 2019-12-20 16:36:14 UTC

Description of problem:
As of Fedora 31 python now means python3. This is not consistent with the pypy package however which still refers to pypy2.  

How reproducible:
Run pypy --version and observe that it refers to pypy2. dnf info pypy also refers to pypy2.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install pypy
2. Run pypy --version 
3. Observe that it still refers to pypy2

Actual results:
pypy refers to pypy2

Expected results:
pypy refers to pypy3

Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2019-12-20 20:43:25 UTC

I'm afraid that this is in line with what upstream PyPy does. If we are to change that, this would require a broader discussion on https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/ rather than a mostly private discussion in bugzilla.

Newbyte, do you want to start such a discussion?

I have limited knowledge about what the implications of a such switch would be. Is it sensible for me to start a such discussion taking that into consideration? I have not done anything like this before, but I'm definitely interested in starting somewhere.

The info we have for CPython is distilled in PEP 394: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
Some of it should apply to PyPy as well, except they're not planning to end support for Python 2.

And yes, a discussion is a good way to get more info :)

Comment 5 Petr Viktorin 2020-02-18 14:16:28 UTC

As current pypy maintainers, we're following upstream here. I'll close this bug, since we're not planning any action.
Please write to python-devel as mentioned above, if you want to discuss further.
