CYGWIN CHANGES

As python2 is no longer supported

https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches

the package are updated to include postinstall script that
use "alternatives" to define for

   /usr/bin/python

   /usr/bin/python3
   /usr/bin/idle3
   /usr/bin/pydoc3

a default to the highest package available.

$ alternatives --display python
python - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.8
/usr/bin/python3.7 - priority 37
/usr/bin/python3.8 - priority 38
/usr/bin/python3.6 - priority 36
/usr/bin/python2.7 - priority 27
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.8.

The following link are not provided anymore.
/usr/bin/idle
/usr/bin/pydoc

The python3 package will pull python38 package.

Rationale:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
In other systems as Debian
/usr/bin/python is discouraged.

As on Cygwin we have still several third packages depending on
python2, the usage of alternatives should allow to manage
until all are updated to python3

DESCRIPTION
Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly
and integrate systems more effectively.
Python is powerful... and fast; plays well with others;
runs everywhere; is friendly & easy to learn; is Open.

Thanks for packaging pylint Marco, should be very useful.

While things are mostly fine (I tested with 32-bit and 64-bit with
python36-pylint), I did notice a few things with the pylint packages:

1: The "pylint" package itself (the test package) doesn't install any of
the python3x-pylint packages - is this intentional?

2: There is no "pylint" or "pylint3" command available in the terminal
after install. Not a deal breaker as one can use "python3.x -m pylint
./file.py" but being able to run "pylint(3) ./file.py" is a nice
convenience feature :)

it should pull python38-pylint

$ cygcheck -l python38-pylint | grep bin
/usr/bin/pylint3.8

Okay, just realised I was wrong about the shortcut, as I do have
/usr/bin/pylint3.6. My bad.

However, it didn't pull python38-pylint in for me. An interesting thing
just happened when I opened setup again though: it says pending
operations are to remove "pylint" and install "python38-pylint". When I
told it I wanted to keep "pylint" I got a dependency issue, see attached
screenshot.

In case it's helpful to know, I had the old "pylint" package installed
already and upgraded it to your test version.

on the setup.ini you can see

-----------------------------------
@ python38-pylint
sdesc: "python code static checker"
...
[test]
version: 2.6.0-1
...
depends2: python38, python38-astroid, python38-isort, python38-mccabe, 
python38-pytest, python38-toml

obsoletes: pylint    <<<<<<

--------------------------------

install one and it will remove the other, also as they have
the same content in this case

That makes sense, but that's not what happened here - it prompted to
remove "pylint" itself and install "python38-plint" but only after
running setup again after installing the new test "pylint" package.
Maybe I'm being a bit stupid but this seems like weird behaviour in
setup.exe - I would have expected it to do this when I asked to upgrade
"pylint" in the first place, or to automatically install
"python38-pylint" when I selected "pylint".

probably a consequence of being still test classified packages

Yeah, you're probably right. Never mind for now, if it comes up again
then I'll let you know.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Test: python packages

[Marco Atzeri via Cygwin-announce]

The following  python packages have been uploaded as test

   python2  idle2    2.7.18-4
   python27 idle27   2.7.18-4

ADDITIONAL CYGWIN CHANGES

Rebuilt to include a needed patch for TCP handling

CYGWIN CHANGES

As python2 is no longer supported

https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches

the package are updated to include postinstall script that
use "alternatives" to define for

   /usr/bin/python

   /usr/bin/python3
   /usr/bin/idle3
   /usr/bin/pydoc3

a default to the highest package available.

$ alternatives --display python
python - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.8
/usr/bin/python3.7 - priority 37
/usr/bin/python3.8 - priority 38
/usr/bin/python3.6 - priority 36
/usr/bin/python2.7 - priority 27
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.8.

The following link are not provided anymore.
/usr/bin/idle
/usr/bin/pydoc

The python3 package will pull python38 package.

Rationale:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
In other systems as Debian
/usr/bin/python is discouraged.

As on Cygwin we have still several third packages depending on
python2, the usage of alternatives should allow to manage
until all are updated to python3
