</div></div>Or maybe it's me that misinterpreted the actual impact of not<br>
supported 2 versions of Python at the same time.<br>
<br>
Lets walk through an actual upgrade scenario.<br>
<br>
I suppose the migration to Python 3 will happen around Stein and<br>
therefore affects people upgrading from Rocky to Stein. At this point,<br>
an operator should already be running Ubuntu Bionic which supports<br>
both Python 2.7 and 3.6.<br>
<br>
If that operator is using virtualenv (and not distribution packages),<br>
it's only a matter a building new virtualenv using Python 3.6 for<br>
Stein instead. This means installing both Python 2.7/3.6 on the same<br>
node should be enough to upgrade and switch to Python 3.6 on a per<br>
project/service basis.<br>
<br>
My main use case is with the compute node which has multiple services<br>
running. Come to think of it, it's a lot less impactful than I<br>
thought.<br>
<br>
Let me know if I got some details wrong. But if the steps are similar<br>
to what I described above, I no longer have concerns or objections.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><br class="gmail-Apple-interchange-newline">The plan is to maintain support for both Python 2 and 3 in the T release (and possibly S, if the projects get py3 work done quickly).

I think the only people who could be concerned is those doing rolling<br>
upgrading, which could impact RPC message encoding as described by<br>
Thomas. But you are already addressing it so I will just read and see<br>
where this is going.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
