[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#886634: pyscanfcs: Please migrate to Python 3

[Ole Streicher]

Package: pyscanfcs
Version: 0.2.3+ds-1
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

I am the maintainer of the "python-astropy" package which is a
dependency of pyscanfs.

the package "pyscanfcs" still uses Python version 2.7, which is going to
be obsolete in a few years.

Astropy just now announced the release candidate of the next version
3.0, which is Python-3-only [1]. Therefore, the Debian astropy package
for Python 2.7 will be removed in a foreseeable time. Although no
schedule is set for this, it will surely happen before the next Debian
release.

That's why I would ask you to migrate the package to Python 3.

If you need help, or have questions, please contact me.

Best regards

Ole
