Hello fellow serpents.
I'm one of the Python maintainers in Fedora and RHEL.
I've noticed anaconda-core uses the third party pytz module to work with TZ
(timzone) data. Since Python 3.9, there is a zoneinfo module in the Python
standard library:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/
Hence we would like to:
- deprecate pytz in Fedora
- avoid pytz in RHEL 10+
Since anaconda is one of the "important" dependents on pytz from both Fedora and
RHEL, I'm reaching out to you in advance. Could you please consider migrating to
zoneinfo?
I have not done any such migrations yes, so I don't have any useful links or
pointers. However, if you'd be interested I can try with anaconda myself.
Note that I don't know if anaconda code from the default branch at
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda needs to support older Pythons or not.
If needed, I can try to make the changes more universal.
Let me know if you need some more info, a patch, or just time to handle it
yourselves.
Thanks,
(Please CC me in replies to the list, I don't receive the usual list traffic.)
