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 NFStest's future. Specifically: - 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 NFStest. If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here. Thank you.
Work is already in progress for this, I plan to submit the patches to Fedora once it is done, with the hope of it then being made available in EPEL as well.
Can you provide some pointers to where the work is tracked? Any ETA?
Could you please answer the last question?
The early changes I made were sent upstream but never accepted, so I have been working on completing the job in private, once I have a version which runs cleanly I will resubmit the patches upstream. I feel like I am maybe a couple of weeks close to finishing, but have no accurate way to gauge that. Sorry.

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).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '31'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This is still the case on Rawhide. Do you have any update?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle. Changing version to 34.
Is there any progress? Do you need any help? NFStest is now one of 4 packages in Rawhide that require python2-setuptools. The other three are non-functional trac plugins.
Ah, I forgot python-psutil & -cairo, sorry. One of 6 packages.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07. Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle. Changing version to 37.
Upstream, there is a slew of commit from 2021-05 "Python3", so I assume the latest version is compatible. (Latest version is either 3.0, which has a tarball, or 3.1 which is just a Git tag.) Updating to 3.0, and changing "python2"/"py2" to 3 in the specfile, makes the package build. But I don't know how to test it.
(In reply to Petr Viktorin from comment #17) > But I don't know how to test it. Do you have a scratch build or copr? I can try it.
I sent a PR, a scratch build should appear there: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/NFStest/pull-request/3
