<h1>
Debian Python Policy
 Chapter 1 - On the move to Python 3
</h1>

<hr>

Debian currently supports two Python stacks, one for Python 2 and one for
Python 3. The long term goal for Debian is to reduce this to one stack,
dropping the Python 2 stack at some time. <code><a
href="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/">PEP 404</a></code> states
that no more major Python 2 releases are planned, although the last released
major version 2.7 will see some extended support, documented in <code><a
href="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/">PEP 466</a></code>.

Packages in Debian should use Python 3 if Python 3 is supported. New packages
should use Python 3 from the initial upload, new upstream versions for existing
packages should use Python 3 if the new upstream version supports it.

<ol type="1" start="1" >
<li>

Programs should use Python 3, and should not be packaged for Python 2 as well.
Python 3 should be used for the packaging if the packaging scripts use Python.

</li>
</ol>
<ol type="1" start="2" >
<li>

Python libraries should be always packaged for Python 3 if supported. Python 2
libraries should be packaged, if applications found in the reverse dependencies
are not yet supported by Python 3.

</li>
</ol>
<ol type="1" start="3" >
<li>

Existing Python 2 libraries should not be dropped before the last reverse
dependency is removed.

</li>
</ol>
