Python

• PKGBUILD: https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python
• Source: https://github.com/msys2-contrib/cpython-mingw

Major Version Upgrade Workflow

• Create a new branch at https://github.com/msys2-contrib/cpython-mingw for the new version
• Copy the existing PKGBUILD to a "python3.x" and set _primary_python=no
• Test the new version (Windows 7 support?)
• Maybe wait for 3.x.1 / 2 for the initial issues to be ironed out
• Figure out which packages need to be rebuild:
  • Use https://github.com/jeremyd2019/package-grokker to detect dependencies on the .dll
  • pacman -Fyqx '/python3\.9/' '.*\.pyc' to detect the remaining packages
• Try to update packages that need to be rebuild to get potential Python related fixes.
• Move the PKGBUILD over to mingw-w64-python and make it the default one and rebuild all relevant packages
• Let autobuild handle the rest
