Thanks for info, according info from csim@openhpc: "meta packages depends on tau and tau requires python2".

Yes, it might be a good solution.

I think use oepkg to "provide" python2 package is a solution.

主 题： [Dev] Re: Support Python2 in openEuler 22.03
Hi,

Hi, as we know, Python2 is EOL in python upstream community, and we drop the python2 support in 22.03.

But there are huge and real demands from users said they are still using python2 in there projects om openEuler 22.03:

Below examples,

1.OpenStack Q version suppprt, some companys want to support Q but they found no python2 support.

2. OpenHPC community are using python2 in their upstream, because the meta pkg like tau are still using python2.

 

3.IIRC, servral bigdata projects like HUE, storm, are still using python2.

4.Compare to popular OS, like centos, ubuntu, they are still provide official rpm pkg, users can install python2 by yum or apt directly.

and so much like above user demands I couldn't list all in here.

So, is there any possible way to let python2 back by some reasonable way? (official support?oepkg? 3rd repo?)

Feel free to comments any idea/suggestion in here.
