I'm glad Arch did the python3 transition and I agree with python3 being the default version (i.e. having 'python' symlink to 'python3.x').
But what's the reason for no longer having a package named 'python3' with a symlink to 'python3.x'? It would make (/have made) the transition a little easier, no? Any harm done in providing it?
I have no idea what you are talking about...
pacman -Ss python3 testing/python 3.1.2-2 [installed] Next generation of the python high-level scripting language community/python3 3.1.2-4 Next generation of the python high-level scripting language
Note that testing/python will replace the community/python3 once it moves to [extra].

Argh... sorry for not checking things properly first...
It's just that when I tried to update my packages (includer AUR) I saw this:
:: Replace python3 with testing/python? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: pyqt-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1 :: sip-py3and2: requires python3>=3.1
...and just assumed that meant 'python3' was set to disappear.
Hmm... I probably should have added a version to the provides line in the python package. Currently it only provides "python3" and not a version so the versioned deps in those AUR packages are causing issues. I'll get around to that before this exits [testing].... Allan
