Re: EOL notice for python32

 

For those interested in the status of python32, see this somewhat recent Python-Dev mailing list thread[0]. Also subscribe this GitHub issue[1] to follow up on information on python32 EOL status, as this thread will not get updated moving forward.


Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team

Greetings,

I wanted to give an update regarding the status of Python 3.2 and IUS
python32 packages.  The final 3.2.7 release has been delayed[1].  It is
not clear when it will be released.

Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team

Greetings,

The Python Software Foundation will soon be EOLing Python 3.2. While I
have not found an official EOL date, they did mention Python 3.2 will be
provide source-only security fixes until February 2016[0].


Once Python 3.2 becomes EOL, the IUS python32 packages (including
modules) will be moved out of the stable repositories. They will still
be available in the archive repositories. While not recommended, you can
install packages from the archive repositories with something like the
following:


# yum install PACKAGE_NAME --enablerepo=ius-archive
