Description Lumír Balhar 2019-08-08 12:26:34 UTC

Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime.
Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages
Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2

To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for trac-spamfilter-plugin's future. Specifically:


- 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?) 

- What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3?

- 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?)


This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context specific to trac-spamfilter-plugin.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to '31'.

Comment 2 Lumír Balhar 2019-08-16 08:37:06 UTC

Please answer the above questions. If you don't, the package can be orphaned: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages

If you need any information or help, or if you need some more time, please let us know.

Comment 3 Paul Howarth 2019-08-16 08:52:22 UTC

This is a plug-in for trac, which itself does not yet support Python 3. I anticipate that the porting to Python 3 will happen in line with that of trac itself.

Comment 4 Lumír Balhar 2019-08-16 09:37:41 UTC

Sorry for that. The automation didn't see the discussion in the "trac" package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737930
Let's keep the conversation about trac there. I assume everything that applies to trac applies to "trac-*" as well.

I'm marking this bug to not receive any more reminders.

Trac was ported to Python 3.

Retired a week ago.
