Sorry, just now seeing this. This package has been in the NEW queue since 10/10 as python3-legacycrypt.
I volunteered to package it with the exclusive intent of ensuring it goes away later.
Best,
./wzl
Thank you for keeping an eye on this.
There was an even more specific proposal of the Python Team to use the
"python-zombie-*"
namespace for all the modules removed by PEP594 and further future
deprecation PEPs;
this is based on the model of existing python-zombie-imp.
https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/
I packaged python-zombie-telnetlib as a "native" package;
it's a single file that will likely never change anymore.
Someone could create a project on Pypi, maybe... we'll see.
Here legacycrypt is an already established name,
it can stay as python-legacycrypt. (?)
Greetings
