[Python-modules-team] Bug#917418: nbsphinx no more support Python 2

[Thorsten Glaser]

Hi,

>My understanding is that sphinx no more support Python as well
>(this is the excuse from the uptream maintainer):

hm, perhaps upstream. In Debian, the consensus was to keep
Python 2 working for old things until some time after the
release AIUI.

>if sphinx still supports Python 2 in Buster,
>then it makes sense to make nbsphin supporting Python 2 in Buster.

OK. Perhaps it’s not too much effort, and then, after the
unfreeze, things can get de-python2-ised in a controlled
way (reversely down the dependency tree from leaf packages
down to libraries).

I didn’t check to see how often it’s still used in Depends
or B-D (UDD might know), but perhaps just before the freeze
is a bit tight to introduce deep changes, especially as, in
my experience, not all upstreams are fast enough to adopt.

>Ok, I will have a look this week end.

Thanks!
