Description Luke A. Guest 2020-02-25 12:03:30 UTC

Not all packages which have PYTHON_COMPAT strings set to 3 cover all python3 versions available, i.e. 3.7, 3.8. Found so far:

* media-libs/pyliblo - why is this not dev-python/pyliblo ?
* dev-python/pyalsa
* media-gfx/img2pdf
* net-misc/dropbox-cli


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove Python 3.6 from list of python targets
2. rebuild world

Actual Results:  
Cannot merge due to missing deps.

Expected Results:  
Build

Yes. It is up to the maintainer to test and add these python versions to the compat string.

These are all current packages which don't have 3.7+ support yet in unstable:

And here is the list where unstable has support but stabilization is needed for 3.7+:

I really don't think we need this bug report, this is being worked on.  If you have tested a particular package on 3.7/3.8 and it works, you can open a bug for that specific package.

Indeed we don't need this bug report.
