What is the workflow for announcing tier 2 platform support?
Hi, Experts: VxWorks RTOS will release a new version at the end of June. For this new version, we(Wind River) plan to announce the Python support officially here (https://www.python.org/download/other/) for VxWorks as tier 2 platform. Now my 2 questions come: 1. To be qualified as tier 2 platform here https://www.python.org/download/other/, do I need to get all test cases pass on VxWorks RTOS? Now we have the following PRs for VxWorks. With these PRs merged, we can get around 70% test cases PASS. [cid:image003.png@01D4DE3F.A336F1E0] 2. If we reach the announcement level, what is the workflow to update the website statements here https://www.python.org/download/other/. The following picture shows what we want to show.

Hi,
I don't think that we can say that Python supports VxWorks yet. Many PRs
are not merged yet. You are free to disrribute a modified version with your
changes.
The PEP 11 lists conditions to fully support a platform:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/
My summary is: all tests must pass (it's ok to skip a few), a buildbot must
run and a core dev should handle any regression.
I expect that VxWorks will better fit in the "Best Effort" category: only
fix issues when someone proposes a fix.
