Thanks to Sundeep, who has already started and worked on this.
So hopefully we will have a working py3 zanata-python-client for F30+ soon.

Hi,
I come from the tha Anaconda installer project and we use the Python
Zanata client to push & pull translations from the
Fedora Zanata instance where Anaconda is being translated. As far as I
know, there are many other projects that do the
same (Blivet, Blivet-GUI, Storaged, etc.), even though it might not be
readily apparent due to not directly depending on
the python2-zanata-client package, but rather just installing it manually
on the machine where builds are being created.
As we all know, Python 2 is going away soon (in less than 10 months) and
Fedora is already doing a lot of work to get
remove as many Python 2 packages as possible.
Therefore it's pretty alarming that something as important as a client for
the official Fedora translation service is
still Python 2-only with not even a hint of Python 3 support being worked
on as far as I can tell. Python Zanata client
upstream[0] has last activity ~year ago, but seems to be mostly dead since
2017 with no support for Python 3 in sight.
There are also some bugs & an upstream issue inquiring about Python 3
support in the Zanata Python client:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1676408
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1685550
https://zanata.atlassian.net/browse/ZNTA-2791
And at the moment, the client can't even be installed on Rawhide and F30:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1676388
This has prompted me to write this email & to CC all people mentioned as
maintainers on the package page[0].
What can be done about this ? Is Python 3 support for the Zanata Python
client being worked on, so that we won't loose
the package ? Or do we just wait for it to be dropped from Fedora - and
then what ?
Hopefully someone can answer these questions. :)
Best Wishes
Martin Kolman
