#1199 — Can I count on Python 2 in bullseye?

Hi.

Are there plans to remove the basic Python 2 packages from bullseye?  I
want Python 2 because I use the Python 2 version of OfflineIMAP (which I
installed outside apt).  There is a Python 3 port, but it is very recent
and I do not know if it has been well tested.

Regards

Disclaimer: I’m not the maintainer so this is just the response of a random DD 
hanging around.

Python 2 has been removed from Bullseye intentionally a couple of weeks/months 
ago, and won’t be reintroduced as Python 2 maintenance has stopped upstream.

The ship for Python 3 has sailed long ago so if you need to depend on Python 
2-only code you will need to stay on Buster. And looking forward you should 
probably work with the upstream projects you depend on to ensure they have 
Python 3 compatible versions available.


Happy hacking !

Hello.

Niels Thykier has politely explained me (in private, though) that this
list is not meant for support questions.  It is meant for test results
from installation and upgrades.

I believe, however, that the list description on
<https://lists.debian.org/devel.html> could be updated.  It currently
says just "Testing for the next release".  I suggest it should read
"Testing for the next release---test results from installation and
upgrades."

I will send this suggestion to <mailto:listmaster@lists.debian.org>.
