pyserial-2.7.tcz naming

[bmarkus]

pyserial-2.7.tcz must be renamed to pyserial.tcz

[Juanito]

Is there any particular pressing reason for the name change?

Is there any particular pressing reason for the name change?

A while ago an agreement was made to remove 2.7 when it depends on  Python 2.7 and indicate only 2.6 in extension name when it depends on Python 2.6 like current WICD. It is simply out of order, thats all.

[Jason W]

From rereading the python thread, the push was to rename 2.6 stuff with the -2.6 suffix, allowing either the -2.7 suffix or no suffix at all mean the extension is a python 2.7 one.  Thus allowing the 2.7 stuff to drop their suffixes during updates by attrition. 

Here is a list of the 2.7 named extensions.  Though there is not a pressing technical reason to rename them, each time one is renamed they will break existing tce directories.  Perhaps one last batch renaming, this time the 2.7 stuff, would only break tce directories one big time instead of many little times and will put this python thing behind us once and for all.  If there are no objections, I can rename the extensions to not having the suffix.

Well, I did not check repository in general but faced pyserial installing it and remembered on the wrong way it was already done. I was not careful enough before posting my note. Sorry.

[Jason W]

If all is working well with the -2.7 extensions, perhaps we can just leave it be for the duration of TC 3.x.  Then later we can start 4.x clean and simple python wise.  That way no further name changing or breakage has to occur during the 3.x lifecytle.

[bmarkus]

Just keep as it is now, do not waste time.
