54 If upgrading to a new Python-3 minor version (for example,
55 from Python-3.10.x to Python-3.11.0), you will need to reinstall
56 any Python3 modules you have installed. You should also
57 reinstall packages that generate Python3 modules
58 including
59 <xref linkend="gobject-introspection"/>,
60 <xref linkend="opencv"/>,
61 <xref linkend="graphviz"/> (if swig is installed).
62 </para>
63
64 <para>Before you upgrade, you can get a list of modules installed
65 with <command>pip3 list</command>. The list may be incomplete as
66 some Python modules are not installed with <command>pip3</command>,
67 for example the <literal>cracklib</literal> module installed by
68 <xref role='nodep' linkend='cracklib'/>. Use <command>ls
69 /usr/lib/python3.<replaceable>minor</replaceable>/site-packages</command>
70 for a comprehensive list.

74 The Python modules from LFS will also have to be reinstalled:
