Here are the raw notes: https://gobby.debian.org/export/debconf18/bof/python There are two team-wide items that would be of general interest: 1/ We agreed that we would like Python 3.7 as default Python3 in Buster. As= this needs a lot of work still, we set ourselves an internal deadline of October 2018 to assess whether releasing with 3.7 as default is feasible, leaving us 2.5 months to do any followup transitions that would be needed before the s= tart of the transition freeze. Matthias will talk to the Release Team with this plan to "pre-book" a transition slot and make sure this would fit within their freeze plans Of course, in the meantime, we need to keep pushingupstreams to fix the asy= nc and generator-related issues that arise in 3.7. This also means finding solutions for edge-cases such as astroid, whose 2.0 branch is the only to support Py3.7, but also drops 2.x support. We may have to consider removing some leaf packages as well. 2/ Ondrej Novy will do a mass-change from git-dpm to gbp on team packages. Related to this, Piotr will review and amend the team policy if necessary, = as well as work on the pipeline to make sure the policy gets published from sa= lsa. 3/ Finally, there was some conversation about looking into debhelper's automatic detection of documentation packages (dh_installdocs in compat 11, policy =A712.3 / 3.9.7), to actualy move documentation to the python-$foo-d= oc package if it exists. Stuart has taken this action item.
