From bc03aa438bef326d47aafaed99bc6de45e518c53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip McGrath Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2022 16:05:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gnu: wrap-python3: Clarify relationship with wrapped package. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The previous description could give the impression that the user faced a choice between `python` and `python3`, but could not have both at once. In fact, the packages `python-wrapper` and `python-minimal-wrapper` already provide both sets of names. * gnu/packages/python.scm (wrap-python3)[description]: Tweak.
