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 gdesklets'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 gdesklets. 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'.

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, please let us know.
I'd like keep gdesklets , because I still use "Quote of the Day" and still not found any replacement .
Alright! Please ask for a FESCo exception for keeping gdesklets and its dependencies. Here's an example ticket for that: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2208 We track the Python 2 dependencies here: https://fedora.portingdb.xyz/pkg/gdesklets/ Could you check which ones are necessary? It seems that the critical ones are: pygtk2, gtk2. libglade2, pycairo, pygobject2, python2-numpy. Check with their maintainers Python 2 plans for those don't conflict with yours. (If there's a bug like this one filed for them, that's a good place to have the conversation.) As for Python 2: the "python2" package will be replaced with "python27". We can help you with the switch. As for python2-pytest, python2-nose and python2-setuptools: those will probably need (co-)maintainers to stay in Fedora.

I need at least gnome-python2-devel https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=37586015 https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/6015/37586015/root.log BUILDSTDERR: Problem: conflicting requests DEBUG util.py:585: BUILDSTDERR: - nothing provides python2-devel(x86-64) >= 2.3.0 needed by gnome-python2-devel-2.28.1-27.fc32.x86_64 DEBUG util.py:587: (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)
Workarounded that in gnome-python2-2.28.1-28.fc32. So you need "only" python27 and gnome-python2-devel. Hence you also need the dependencies: pyorbit pygtk2 pycairo pygobject2 python2-numpy python2-setuptools Is that correct?
Note that gDesklets is discontinued. The project is no longer updated since 2011 and the official website is no longer available. The unofficial website http://gdesklets.info/archive/ maintains an archive of new and old desklets. Would conky serve as a replacement for your use case? https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/conky-theme-collections/blob/master/novoselic/res/quote-online https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/conky-theme-collections/blob/master/novoselic/res/quote-offline

I think after we got [1] and after my repo [2] [1] https://launchpad.net/gdesklets [2] https://github.com/sergiomb2/gdesklets > Would conky serve as a replacement for your use case? > > https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky > https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/conky-theme-collections/blob/master/novoselic/ > res/quote-online > https://github.com/addy-dclxvi/conky-theme-collections/blob/master/novoselic/ > res/quote-offline Yes , seems that is what I'm looking for . I will check soon . Thanks
