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 fail2ban 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 fail2ban 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
fail2ban 1.1 will be python 3 based and no longer need to run 2to3. I've tested that building the current git head.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle. Changing version to 40.
