I know that python2 is a dead language, but I have a need to use some python 2 code on one of my servers. It's clearly on me to maintain the old code if I choose to use it.

I use MoinMoin via mon_wsgi.

After upgrading to fedora 32 I took the trouble to install moin using the F31 package.
And all was good.

But I just did my first dnf update and was surprised to find these lines in the log of
the dnf update:

---> Package moin.noarch 1.9.10-3.fc31 will be erased
---> Package python2-mod_wsgi.x86_64 4.6.6-2.fc32 will be erased

What is forcing the erase? I need to workaround this.

Probably fedora-obsolete-packages:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-obsolete-packages/blob/f32/f/fedora-obsolete-packages.spec

I don't know how to workaround it though as the f-o-p package doesn't actually get installed anymore - it's work happens through some dnf tricks now.

You should still be able to exclude the package in the dnf config:

$ cat /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
[main]
...
exclude=fedora-obsolete-packages
