snap contains python 3.8 and 3.9 libs
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 2.x-era report that a built snap bundles both python3.8 and python3.9, causing librsync to fail on the 3.9 interpreter. Unlabelled, zero comments, inactive ~4.4 years; the python plugin was since rewritten to a venv-based design in Snapcraft 3.x.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The report is from the Snapcraft 2.x era (1624 days old, 0 comments, no labels/assignee) and describes the old stage-packages-based python plugin bundling the build environment's system python alongside the base's. The current codebase's PythonPlugin (snapcraft/parts/plugins/python_plugin.py) subclasses craft_parts' venv-based python_plugin and no longer stages a system interpreter, so the two-conflicting-system-pythons symptom is no longer reproducible on a supported base. Inactivity alone is not the basis; the specific mechanism has been replaced.
