[Python-apps-team] Bug#941869: cherrytree: Depends on unmaintained pygtk

[Jeremy Bicha]

Source: cherrytree
Version:  0.37.6-1.1
Severity: serious
Control: block 885135 by -1
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs pygtk
Tags: sid bullseye

pygtk is unmaintained upstream. It has not had a release since GNOME 3
was released in 2011. Also, it uses Python2 and Python2 is being removed
from Debian.

The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection
bindings.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

Please try to do this before the Debian 11 "Bullseye" release as
we're going to remove pygtk this cycle.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
