Description Karolina Surma 2023-10-18 12:51:45 UTC 
This is an early notice about Python 3.13 which will be the main Python
in Fedora 41+ (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.13).

We detected that python-mglob build requires /usr/bin/2to3 which will be removed from Python 3.13.

Python-maint has already started testing Fedora packages with Python 3.13 alphas.
We'll appreciate unblocking python-mglob as soon as possible to enable smooth integration.

Possible solutions to this issue:
- (preferred) port your package to Python 3 upstream
- patch the source code of the package using 2to3 and add the patch to dist git
2to3 is still present in Fedora 37, 38, 39, 40.



Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2023-10-18 14:05:29 UTC 
Nothing seems to (build)require python3-mglob, the latest upstream release is from 2007, and the homepage on PyPI goes to error 404.

When attempting to pip-install it, the package fails on Python 3 (due to SyntaxErrors).


I suggest orphaning this package.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.
