[Starlingx-discuss] Python2 -> Python3

Hi All:
    The  logical for here is if package from centos directly ,  we will wait upgrading to CentOS 8.x to compliance with python3
  Please filter 'Do not contain centos' in Column N ,  then it will show below 11 packages. 
  As sync in non-OpenStack distro meeting. 
    We still can filter out the 4 packages from fedora project and python-cephclient as flock servers . 
So below 6 packages are coming 3rd party which might be not python2to3 compliance.

Package                                               | who is using
openvswitch                                       | ovs
python-cephfs                                    | ceph
python-smartpm                               | standalone package
qemu-kvm-ev                                     | mtce-compute
requests-toolbelt                               | cgcs-patch-controller
rpm-python                                        | cgcs-patch-controller

Thanks.

Hi All:
     New sheet was updated to [1]. Adding column N (repo_info) to record where the package coming from.
There are 11 packages not from centos but including python and may not be compatiable python2 and python3.
 Package                                               | who is using
openvswitch                                       | ovs
 python-aniso8601                             | keystone
 python-cephclient                             | ceph
 python-cephfs                                    | ceph
 python-django-bash-completion   | sysinv
 python-smartpm                               | standalone package
 python-unittest2                               | sysinv
 python-XStatic-jquery-ui                  | stx-gui
 qemu-kvm-ev                                     | mtce-compute
 requests-toolbelt                               | cgcs-patch-controller
 rpm-python                                        | cgcs-patch-controller


I will continue check those 11 packages .

Austin,
Can you add one more column in your xls sheet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1808073/+attachment/5274592/+files/rpm_python_status-stx.2.0.xlsx:

In your column "I", for your "3rd party" category, to break down "CentOS package" & "3rd party package", so that we can understand how much we can rely on CentOS 8.0, especially for those "risk" ones.

Thanks. - cindy

A general question, do we have experience and confidence to ensure 2 python versions (both interpreters and pip libs) can co-exist and each of packages can correctly refer to them??

In my view the best solution is to wait for CentOS 8.0 :-)
