Heyya d-p, I'd like to send an email to d-d-a asking that project to consider no longer creating new Debian tools in Python 2. I'd like this to have the endorsement of the team, so, does anyone object to me asking people to not write new tools in Python 2 only (prefer alternative deps or porting), and only use Python 2 in very special curcumstances or for legacy codebases (perhaps a pitch to move to Python 3), along with a note that we plan to deprecate Python 2 when upstream support is gone (2020), which puts us on track for two cycles (Buster) I'll make note of a team which should exist to help with such porting, (I'm up to help with this) that was one of the items that came out of the PyCon chit-chat. I got the sense from the room that this would be OK, but just checking if anyone here has a substantive objection. If not, I'll send that out later on today/tomorow. Thanks! Paul -- .''`.
