---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gregory Szorc gps@mozilla.com Date: 10 November 2017 at 17:27 Subject: Intent to require Python 3 to build Firefox 59 and later To: dev-builds dev-builds@lists.mozilla.org, dev-platform dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org
For reasons outlined at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388447#c7, we would like to make Python 3 a requirement to build Firefox sometime in the Firefox 59 development cycle. (Firefox 59 will be an ESR release.)
The requirement will likely be Python 3.5+. Although I would love to make that 3.6 if possible so we can fully harness modern features and performance.
I would love to hear feedback - positive or negative - from downstream packagers and users of various operating systems and distributions about this proposal.
Please send comments to dev-builds@lists.mozilla.org or leave them on bug 1388447. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
