[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#936798: Please port KisSplice to Python3 (Was: Bug#936798: kissplice: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye)

[LACROIX VINCENT]

Dear Andreas, 
Yes, we have a python 3 version of KisSplice working now. This should correspond to version 2.5.0 of KisSplice, which we plan to release in the coming months. 
When would be the deadline for updating our debian KisSplice package before removal ?
Best,
Vincent

Hi,

as you might probably know Python2 is End Of Live[1] and Debian is
actively working on removing Python2 code from the distribution.  So
Debian 11 will come without Python2.  This means we will either be
able to port all software packages to Python3 or the package will be
removed.

Do you think it is feasible for you to port KisSplice to Python3?  May be
by using 2to3 which does quite some work automatically?  If you need any
help please do not hesitate to ask.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
