Regarding Python Compatibility for Collections (github-linkbot,
19:15:23)
- Minimum versions of Python for controller-side and remote-side (abadger1999, 19:19:27)
- AGREED: We keep our
previous voted on proposal: require 2.7 and 3.6+ support both for
remote-side and controller-side, and suggest to also support 2.6 on
remote-side and 3.5 on both sides (always assuming required
libraries support this) (felixfontein,
19:43:35)
- AGREED: The minimal
bounds are adjusted when the ansible-core we depend on stops running
on specific Python versions on remote or controller side
(felixfontein,
19:49:12)
- Any blockers for ansible-3.0.0 tomorrow? (abadger1999, 19:50:12)
- docsite split should be okay for tomorrow.
There is some failures on backport and wonkiness in the
version-switcher but those do not need to block release.
(abadger1999,
19:53:07)
- dmsimard's blog post for 3.0.0 is ready
(abadger1999,
19:53:21)
- No blockers for release; ansible-3.0.0 will go
out tomorrow! (abadger1999,
19:53:36)
- Python version requirements for module_utils (felixfontein, 19:54:44)
- AGREED: convention
for module_utils: a) no docstring = everything we recommend for
remote-side is supported, b) docstring 'Python versions supported:
as for controller-side' = everything we recommend for
controller-side is supported, c) docstring with specific versions
otherwise: 'Python versions supported: <explicit list>'
(felixfontein,
20:13:27)
- AGREED: module_utils
can be marked for only internal use in the collection, but they MUST
document this and MUST use a leading underscore for filenames.
Making an existing module_utils private is a breaking change and
requires a major version bump. (felixfontein,
20:26:20)
- AGREED: collections
MUST announce dropping support for Python versions in their
changelog, if possible in advance (i.e. announce in previous
versions when support will be dropped); if collections are aware of
collection users (which import their code), they SHOULD announce it
directly to their known users, and/or to
https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/issues/45, and/or
