Package: python3-sugar3
Version: 0.121-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,

python3-six is the remnant of the "six" Python 2+3 compatiblity layer.

I've been proposing Merge Request for two years
to clean up so leftover incomplete bits of
Python 2 compatibility.

Here I cannot guess the goals of the project;
wether they still want to keep Python 2
compatibility or not.

Greetings

Alexandre
