Python3.12 and a half

[Alexandre Detiste <alexandre.detiste@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Would it be possible to remove 2to3 from Python3.12 without waiting for 3.13 ?

I see in the meantime a new usage was brought back.

I'll check if this "slimit" package can be easily switched to python3-fissix;
which is a 2to3 fork that is already used to keep python3-nose
artificially alive.

Upstream doesn't have the nicest ward about this module;
I guess nobody will miss it by now.

"Now we just have to remember to actually remove the damn thing in 3.13 😂"

Greetings
