Bug ID: 1738159 Summary: tomoe depends on Python 2 Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: tomoe Assignee: pwu@redhat.com Reporter: lbalhar@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: dingyichen@gmail.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen@redhat.com, pwu@redhat.com, tagoh@redhat.com Blocks: 1698500 (F31_PY2REMOVAL) Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora

Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime. Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Inf... Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2

To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for tomoe's future. Specifically:

- What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build system or test runner?)

- What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3?

- What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is someone who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know anything about the particular package, what are the next steps to take?)

This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context specific to tomoe. If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.
