[gentoo-dev] Python 3.10.0rc1

[gentoo-dev] Python 3.10.0rc1

[Michał Górny]

Hi, everyone.

Just a quick note: I've pushed Python 3.10.0rc1 today.  It has many last
minute changes that can break packages that were ported to previous
3.10.0 betas before.

For practical reasons, we're going to support only >=3.10.0_rc1 going
forward.  If your package fails with >=3.10.0_rc1, feel free to apply
fixes without caring for backwards compatibility with betas.  If you see
failures with 3.10.0_beta4, please try upgrading to _rc1 first.

Notably, the newest releases of dev-python/django and dev-python/sphinx
that I've pushed today were updated for _rc1 and will have failures with
_beta4.

Should we drop PYTHON_COMPAT=python3_10 for known to break package versions?
For example latest stable dev-python/sphinx-4.0.3 did not like today's ~arch
python:

I suppose that's fine if it doesn't break depgraph.  For completeness,
the newer sphinx version is fixed for that.
