Please don't top-post. In this case, it is completely unclear what
specifically you are disagreing with.

Are you saying the upstream is not moribund? What evidence is there
that the project is still actively developed?

Are you saying that the code base already supports Python 3? What
evidence is there of that?

Are you saying something else? Please be specific, by responding to the
specific point you “don't think so”.

Debian definitely supports 3 already.

There are plans for Debian to give up Python 2, at some indefinite
future time.

Remember, though, that “give up Python 2” will at that time entail
“remove any remaining packages which only support Python 2”.

So the fact of Debian moving to Python 3 eventually, does not in any way
advance the specific package ‘python-xlib’ supporting Python 3.

Maybe so. Until then, it has no future in a Debian that eventually drops
Python 2 support.
