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 [0] https://github.com/zanata/zanata-python-client [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/zanata-python-client _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
