Description Karolina Surma 2023-10-20 11:15:15 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 b43-tools invokes '2to3' during its build time.
2to3 and lib2to3 will be removed from Python 3.13.

Python-maint has already started testing Fedora packages with Python 3.13 alphas.
We'll appreciate unblocking b43-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.

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