Add Python 3.6 version for all ports that support Python 3.5?

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

In the past week or two, me and a few others have filed a few pull requests on Github adding the Python 3.6 version for ports we're using. It's been a bit tedious for me, and probably also for the people reviewing / merging pull requests.

So I would like to ask the question if maybe we could just add 3.6 to python.version for all ports supporting 3.5 ?

There haven't really been backwards-incompatible changes in Python 3.6 compared to 3.5. I would expect that all, or almost all, ports that work with 3.5 will just work with 3.6.

Here's a script to compute the list of ports we're talking about: ​https://gist.github.com/cdeil/78fe6edc9bd540445a2ebfcd370d0d2f

Here's the output, listing the 310 ports where I'm proposing to add "36" to "python.versions": ​https://gist.github.com/cdeil/6c665eff6cba2e8356c13c6ee15559f5

Would such a PR be welcome, and would someone with the commit bit be willing to review it?

I think this ticket became obsolete. Py36 subports were added in mass commit [6c05e9852d0b08b2a8f14e7ee622031196a9d699/macports-ports].

Can we close this one?

Yes, this is done.
