Description Ben Cotton 2022-10-24 16:23:37 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: Deprecate python-toml
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecatePythonToml

The python-toml (python3-toml) package will be deprecated in Fedora 38. The upstream toml package is considered unmaintained (see description) and Python 3.11 contains a TOML-reading library in the standard library. Existing Fedora packages depend on python-toml, so we cannot remove it yet. Packagers are encouraged to work with upstreams to switch to tomllib/tomli for reading toml or tomli-w for writing it. But python-toml remains available until it is a leaf package, it will be removed then (possibly not yet in Fedora 38).

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
