I decided on Python upgrades, starting with the cluster-glue package.
I'd like to determine if newer versions are available, since they may
use newer Python versions.  However, I couldn't find any mention of
Python except for this line in Makefile:

    REQUIRED_PACKAGES += runtime/python-27
"




The list of packages I provided does not contain Python modules per se but 
software relying on Python 2.7.

This could be e.g. because of providing Python bindings.




On the other hand you can find in the directory




https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/python
(https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/python)




all the python modules provided in oi-userland.




It may be more pleasant to update these components to support Python 3.7 and
3.9 beforehand.

As you see fit.

Hello,

I'll also try to update some of these.

I decided I needed to install python39 on my development system first,
using python37 as a model.  I do have a few questions.  Is it version
3.9.1 that you are using?  What did you do with the tkinter manifest?
What configure options did you use?  I suppose most of the answers are
in your Makefile .

I'm sure I'll discover most of those things as I go along.
