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 zeitgeist'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 zeitgeist. 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, or if you need some more time, please let us know.
According to the procedure described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Information_on_Remaining_Packages the package was now orphaned. If you think it was a mistake, you can provide the answers and claim the package back. Let us know if you need any help or just need more time.
As the maintainer of python-html5lib, this is the only transitive leaf dependent of python2-html5lib. So I'm not particularly happy this got unoprhaned. What is the plan? Switch to Python 3 or drop some kind of Python part or get an exception?
I picked up zeitgeist because some elementary / Pantheon components depend on zeitgeist-libs: - elementary-code (optional) - elementary-files (NOT optional) - elementary-music (NOT optional) - wingpanel-applications-menu (optional) (Also the python bindings are not compatible with python3, despite autotools allowing to build the package against python3.) I don't need the python2 bindings (seems like nothing in fedora uses them), but I'm not sure if they can be ripped out from the package. Let me check.
Alright, I've ripped the python2 module and any python dependency out from the package. If everything works out, should I merge this change only into rawhide, or into f31 as well?
Whatever you prefer, I will satisfy with rawhide.
Alright, python2-zeitgeist is gone and properly Obsoleted, and BR: python2-devel and BR: python2-rdflib are also gone. f32: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-e38cc185fc f31: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-c23ae10881
