Python 2 has been removed from Debian testing and sid now it seems. It'd be nice to have a Debian package ready for Tauthon. :)

Any feel for how to handle all the add-on packages? python-tz, -urllib3, -pyparsing, and so forth?

how to handle all the add-on packages

Pip and virtualenv/venv.

[vandys]

So the plan is to not be a strict drop-in replacement for the now-departed Python2. I've been living with this reality anyway, but it will be a disconnect from the apt-based workflows of Debian users.

[stefantalpalaru]

The plan is to find the path of least resistance.

[vandys]

I understand, and certainly tauthon as a Debian package would be excellent!

Virtualenv and Pip are finally working: https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/virtualenv-tauthon

Now we can think about offering binary packages.

I tried to make a proper deb from source to build Pale Moon with it on testing and Sid, but PM can't find various modules. Do I have to set PYTHONPATH to something in PM's build environment?

Besides pip and virtualenv being forbidden by Debian policy, they also aren't allowed on the openSUSE Build Server that I use for the builds.

Does it allow you to specify the Python binary? Pointing that to "tauthon" should be enough.

I tried some suggestions a found for Pale Moon and Firefox in Pale Moon's mozconfig file, but when it tries /usr/bin/tauthon, it gets this

ImportError: No module named _oserror
