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 flow-tools 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 flow-tools 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
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle. Changing version to 40.
This package has failed to build with Python 3.13 so far. Fedora 41 is already in the Beta Freeze phase. What's your plan going forward? Will the package be fixed in time for the Final Freeze of Fedora 41 (planned on Oct 15th 2024)? If you don't plan or can't fix the package before Fedora 41 goes into the Final Freeze phase, please retire the package. You can unretire it anytime during the Fedora 41 lifecycle - doing this now will simply ensure that we don't release Fedora with a broken package. Thank you!
