With the introduction of zoneinfo in python 3.9 pytz essentially became obsolete. As outlined in bug 2406005 there are issues with pytz, I thought it made sense to have a separate bug report to discuss forward looking plans about what we should do in Fedora to deal with pytz, there is a upstream PR [1] that tries to clarify the state and various issues with it. With zoneinfo in py3.9 and < 3.9 in python now being EOL a lot of upstream projects seem to be actively migrating from pytz -> zoneino (eg django as of v5 only support zoneinfo) so maybe we should review the use of pytz and actively migrate away.

But there's a lot of nuance, I spent some time and went through the actual packages from comment #1 a little more. The details boil down to 3 main cases: 1) The dependency is bogus and it generally obsolete deps, either in rpm itself or upstream 2) There's minor use, mostly in tests or a single call, I need to investigate these more but in a quick look it could be legacy tests not updated when they moved the project to zoneinfo 3) Larger users of pytz This is what I found, with referenced PRs where I made them to update Fedora/upstream packages: Not used: python-celery-0:5.3.6-12.fc44.src - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-celery/pull-request/8 python-subliminal - dropped upstream when < py3.9 dropped - needs package update to later rev python-kombu-1:5.3.7-10.fc44.src - dropped upstream https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-kombu/pull-request/11 python-marshmallow-0:3.25.0-6.fc44.src - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-marshmallow/pull-request/17 python-oslo-utils-0:7.3.0-6.fc44.src - not used, old dep: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-oslo-utils/pull-request/7 python-pelican-0:4.11.0-2.fc44.src https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pelican/pull-request/4 python3-oslo-serialization-0:5.5.0-6.fc44.noarch - dropped upstream https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-oslo-serialization/pull-request/3 python3-kajiki-0:1.0.2-5.fc44.noarch https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-kajiki/pull-request/2 python3-django-timezone-field-0:4.2.1-19.fc44.noarch - package well out of date, 7.1 latest, >= 5.0 supports zoneinfo, > 6 drops pytz >6.1 support django5 python3-pyvirtualize-0:0.10-26.20191018gitdc2d971.fc44.noarch - dead.package python-tempora-0:5.8.0-1.fc44.src https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-tempora/pull-request/6 Optional, mostly for py < 3.9 support, here we get bogus deps because in the Fedora code paths they'll never be executed: python-cryptography-0:45.0.4-4.fc44.src - PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-cryptography/pull-request/44 python-django-filter-0:25.1-4.fc44.src CI for tests pre django 5.0 - PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-django-filter/pull-request/4 python-hypothesis-0:6.123.0-7.fc44.src - optional choice of pytz and zoneinfo but django >= 5 only supports the later python-icalendar-0:6.3.1-5.fc44.src - will use zoneinfo or pytz python-matplotlib-0:3.10.6-1.fc44.src - optional for >= 3.9 python-orjson-0:3.11.3-2.fc44.src - optional, but will user stdlib zoneinfo python-pendulum-0:3.1.0-4.fc44.src - option tests, uses zoneinfo AFAICT not actually used in project, just in deps: conda-build-0:24.11.2-2.fc42.src https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/conda-build/pull-request/4 copr-backend-0:2.10-1.fc44.src https://github.com/fedora-copr/copr/pull/3972 python-dirty-equals-0:0.9.0-11.fc44.src python-irc-0:20.5.0-10.fc44.src - old deps https://github.com/jaraco/irc/pull/241 python-mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin-0:1.3.0-7.fc44.src - not used https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin/pull-request/2 python-snaptime-0:0.2.4-23.fc44.src - unmaintained upstream (8 years), no deps - retires?

Thank you for the deep dive. We absolutely need to deprecate pytz. I don't currently have a plan, maybe this would be a good candidate for changes, maybe deprecation for f44 and removal in perhaps f46 or f47?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle. Changing version to 45.
