Bug#1121413: RM: pytzdata -- RoQA: unused, duplicates tzdata and Python standard library
Package: ftp.debian.org
X-Debbugs-Cc: pytzdata@packages.debian.org
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
Control: affects -1 src:pytzdata
Please remove pytzdata from Debian.
One of Debian's tzdata maintainers got pytzdata removed a year ago
from Ubuntu because it has a copy of tzdata that needs to be
continually updated. Also, Python 3.9 has zoneinfo in the standard
library for time zone handling.
pytzdata was orphaned in 2024. Two months ago, Graham requested that
it be kept out of Testing.
