Debian has previously supported two Python stacks, one for Python 3
and one for Python 2. The goal for Debian is to reduce this
to one stack, dropping the Python 2 stack and interpreter for
the Bullseye release.
</p><p>
<a class="ulink" href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/" target="_blank">PEP 404</a> states that no more major Python 2 releases
are planned, although the latest released minor version 2.7
will see some extended support, documented in
<a class="ulink" href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/" target="_blank">PEP 466</a>.
</p><p>
Packages in Debian should use Python 3. New packages must
use Python 3 from the initial upload, new upstream versions
for existing packages must use Python 3. If Python 2 is still
supported in Bullseye, selected packages may continue using
Python 2 until Python 3 support is available for those packages.
Please discuss all use of Python 2 on the debian-python
mailing list before uploading.
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
Applications should use Python 3 and must not be packaged
for Python 2 as well. If an application supports only
Python 2, the application may need to be removed from
Debian so that it does not block removal of other Python 2
packages.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Python libraries need to support Python 3 and new versions
must be packaged for Python 3. Existing Python 2 libraries
must not be dropped before the last reverse dependency is
removed. New Python 2 libraries must not be introduced.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Python 3 should be used for the packaging if the
packaging scripts use Python.
