 Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2024 2:13 am Post subject: python version question |
 |
|
in my gentoo
there are three versions of python
py 3.11, py 3.12, py 3.13
last time i made my whole system to py 3.12 (steps according to eselect news)
so the future is 3.13, right? but when?
and can i remove py 3.11? or why emerge --depclean does not clean it out?

There are probably some packages that are still using python3.11 and are only that version due to PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET or PYTHON_TARGETS. This could be due to that package not being checked or failed check on new python versions.
If there is nothing depending on python3.11 portage should be able to depclean it. I still have a machine with python3.9 through python3.13 ... ugh...

double check (and remove) your package.use entries for stuff still telling things to use 3.11 . Gentoo devs are usually relatively quick to move things into new python versions; even now the QA tools like pkgcheck are reminding about upgrading to 3.13.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=921826&hide_resolved=1 here's the few Gentoo packages still having 3.12 issues

emerge -avc dev-lang/python:3.11 will clearly say exactly what needs it ( equerry tends to be less accurate with optional dependencies) |

games-puzzle/lightsoff-40.0.1 requires dev-lang/python:3.11
>>> No packages selected for removal by depclean
Packages installed: 1188
Packages in world: 40
Packages in system: 49
Required packages: 1188

If you can upgrade from games-puzzle/lightsoff-40.0.1 to lightsoff-46.0 (it's ~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~loong ~riscv ~x86) and there are no other packages that need python-3.11, then you could get rid of python-3.11.

Yep, I also carry pyhon from 3.9 onwards on my office machine because my students write code in python, and updating it with every new version is not their main priority |

If they continue doing Python after their studies, maybe that is a good skill to develop after all

It is not, they better do research and write their thesis in astrophysics, rather than following python versions |
