Subject: [bug#60240] Python 3.10 in core-updates
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2024 21:27:48 +0000

Hello,

I was curious about python 3.11 and dug up this issue so I thought I
would check in (CC'ing python-team and original people on the thread).

A link for a refresher: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60240>

Yes, we have and default to python-3.10 in master but it would be great
to have python-3.11. We could add this as "python-next" and start seeing
what packages can build with 3.11 before deciding if/when to switch
over.

Tanguy: have you tried your patch recently at all? Can we base it off of
3.10 and have a working 3.11 from what you started?

Thanks!
John
