I would hold with that until all other Python 3 tasks are completed.

Why do people want to wait? Everyone seems to have their favorite fix that they want us to hold off doing until tomorrow. 303 days until Python 2 end of life.

Is there a reason for installing two different versions of Python?

@cclauss cclauss force-pushed the patch-3 branch 2 times, most recently from 8a20dc4 to e941e55 Compare March 4, 2019 18:52

Yes. It is commonly done around the planet. In this instance, it gives our users the ability to test out node running on both Python and legacy Python. It is also done at nodejs/build#1644 on the node build machines and on all Travis CI xenial images.

MacOS: brew install python python@2
Windows: choco install python python2

Most Linux distros already include both Python and legacy Python (if they still ship with Python 2 at all) but just in case, commands like sudo apt install python3.7 python2.7 will work.

IMHO this boxstarter script is for people who just want to be able to install native modules (as it is tied to a checkbox in installer), the "general public", not the developers. I think it should be kept minimal. Unless both Python versions are needed to build Node or native addons, we should stick to installing one version.

That's not quite correct. This BoxStarter script is part of https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/e941e556244ccea7bf46a76d1d18f865b73d3ea8/tools/bootstrap (linked to from https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/e941e556244ccea7bf46a76d1d18f865b73d3ea8/BUILDING.md#building-nodejs-on-supported-platforms) and is for setting developers up for building Node.js (e.g. it installs nasm which is used for building openssl).

The checkbox in the installer for the "general public" doesn't use BoxStarter anymore and calls Chocolatey directly: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/e941e556244ccea7bf46a76d1d18f865b73d3ea8/tools/msvs/install_tools/install_tools.bat.

@nodejs/python @nodejs/platform-windows @nodejs/build-files @nodejs/tooling PTAL. This could use another review.

Actually, could you also update https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/tools/bootstrap/README.md ? With note about reasons for having twon Python versions.

Python 2 will reach its _end-of-life_ at the end of 2019. Afterwards, the
interpreter will not get updates -- no bugfixes, no security fixes, nothing. In
the interim, the Python ecosystem is abandoning 2.7 support.

@refack, @targos, @rvagg, @mhdawson Your reviews please? We need to get Python 3 onto the build machines and developer sandboxes so we can do complete testing.

happy to defer to judgement of @bzoz and @cclauss combined on this, if you're both happy with this approach then I'm +1
