[HowTo] DRAFT: Update your Python packages after a Python version upgrade

[Yochanan]

AUR python packages from v3.10 will be re-installed to 3.11 via pip install --user.

What? AUR packages have nothing to do with packages installed via Pip.

This is what we did last year for Python 3.10. I don’t see any reason to include anything different. If users install packages with Pip, then that’s up to them to manage them. Nothing to do with Manjaro updates.

You may need to rebuild any AUR packages that install files to site-packages …

You may need to rebuild any Python packages you’ve installed from the AUR. To get a list of them, you can run:

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9

And to rebuild them all at once with an AUR helper such as yay, you can do:

yay -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --answerclean All

But if any of the packages don’t work with Python 3.10 yet, this might fail halfway through and you’ll have to do rebuild the remaining ones one or a few at a time.

It seems we were missing the --rebuildall Yay flag, so I think it should be:

yay -S --rebuildall $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --answerclean All
