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 pybliographer'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 pybliographer. 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'.

Pybliographer is an application written is python requiring python-bibtex and gtk2 packages. Well, regrading the upstream development I can say it has NOT been maintained very actively in the last months/years. I don't think it will be ported to python3 in the near future. Actually, I was already planning to orphan the package, because either I cannot see it's future and I don't use it actively anymore.
Started to orphan the package according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers.
Orphaned. Thank you!
Automation has figured out the package is retired in Fedora 31. If you like it to be unretired, please open a ticket at https://pagure.io/releng/new_issue?template=package_unretirement
