(In reply to Lumír Balhar from comment #0) > - What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in > Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build > system or test runner?) X-tile is written in Python 2. > - What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3? No known plans (checked on GitHub for issues or PRs). > - What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is > someone who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know > anything about the particular package, what are the next steps to take?) x-tile depends on Python 2 bindings for GTK2 (pygtk2). Porting to Python 3 may require a huge rework. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to 31. The current plan is to remove packages with dependency on Python 2 from Fedora 32 in the middle of November 2019. If you want to keep your package in Fedora after that date and you cannot port it to Python 3 yet, you need to request a FESCo exception for the package and all its Python 2 dependencies (even transitive) [1]. If you don't want to maintain it anymore, and nothing in Fedora uses it, you can retire it or just remove the Python 2 part from it (subpackage, module, bindings, etc.). If you're considering filing the exception request, let us know. We can help (for example, we can help find all the dependencies).
