Latest example is matplotlib 3.0 released yday which dropped python2 support (maintained only in the 2.x branch, which will receive only critical fixes), and numpy will release soon a py3k-only version. What did the team decide on this front? duplicating packages is not always feasible (both from an archive and from a maintainership perspective) -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi
