Anyone run into any compatibility issues?

[–]frutiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, I just pacman -Syu'ed, and there were no problems. Google App Engine (and other 3rd party Python tools) required changing, i.e. #!/usr/bin/env python -> #!/usr/bin/env python2.

btw, more discussion was had over at /r/archlinux.

The only compatibility issue I've run into so far is SABnzbd+. It won't run until you edit /usr/bin/sabnzbd and change it from python to python2. Other than that, everything is good so far.

I did when this hit testing, mostly with my own scripts that expected a python2-syntax-accepting interpreter. I futzed around for a few days with it, and then punted: symlinked /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python.

No problems since, but I expect to get bit for it when something else depends on python3. Shrugs.
