Description Tomáš Chvátal 2019-08-01 07:47:25 UTC 
As per summary the packages pull in /usr/bin/python probably because there are some scripts that have the #!/usr/bin/python shebangs.

As /usr/bin/python will be no more from Jan 2020 it would be great if the scripts (if compatible with py3) would rather use the python3 shebang.

texlive-pdfbook2-2019.163.1.2svn37537-38.1.noarch
texlive-de-macro-2019.163.1.3svn26355-39.1.noarch
texlive-texliveonfly-2019.163.svn26313-40.1.noarch
texlive-asymptote-2019.163.2.49svn50885-40.1.noarch
texlive-pythontex-2019.163.0.0.16svn44860-39.1.noarch

Note I didn't check the full texlive install, just what I have on my pc using:

rpm -q --whatrequires  /usr/bin/python

Hmmm it python2 becomes dropped why is the /usr/bin/pythin not a link to /usr/bin/python3 ?    Also I'll not fix broken python scripts

/usr/bin/python was set in the past to always point to python2 but last month there was an update to the pep leaving it up for the distributors...

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/

https://github.com/python/peps/pull/989/files

I wonder what we should do with the above...

As ong as there are pythin2 scripts in texlive packages there is no solution as I will not rewite those python scripts
