Dear Debian Science,
As many of you know, we are working on getting rid of python2 in this
development cycle and either moving packages to python3 or removing them.
It's a large effort (around 4K packages affected) [1]. If you look at our
removal tracker, many of the ros packages are near the top of the dependency
stack, which means they block other python2 removals.
I took a brief look at python3 support in ros, and as far as I can tell, it
appears to be python3 ready, it just needs someone to change it over. Since
it seems like there are multiple packages involved, I would appreciate it if
someone in debian-science would have a look and see about changing it over. I
started with python-rviz and got confused from there.
Thanks,
Scott K
