AIUI a "go cleanly" approach was agreed at the Python BoF, but by that time an aggressive removal process was already well underway for django and openstack related packages.

I took a look at the build-rdeps, also this time I used unstable whereas my previous analysis had been looking at buster (yeah, this made little sense, I was probablly meaning to use bullseye but mixed the words up in my head, not that I think it made any difference). Again i'm not investigating openstack related stuff. This seems to add a few more packages to our set

python-jira (via python-tenacity)
cyvcf2 (via python-coloredlogs, sid version has dropped the python2 stuff, but it's blocked from having old versions cleaned up and migrating to testing by build failures on mips*)
heudiconv (via python-datalad, sid only, never been in testing or a stable release, WTF was someone doing uploading a new python2 only package in 2019?!)
python-googlecloudapis (via python-oauth2client, sid only)
python-google-auth(via python-oauth2client, sid only)
rekall(via python-oauth2client)
python-oslo.cache (via python-etcd3gw, openstack related)
elastalert (via python-jira, also depends on python-croniter)

There is a bug report for it, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929949

I agree that is the correct long term soloution, however as mentioned in this mail and in https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/08/msg00070.html it's not just oz that is involved here.

I understand that dropping python 2 is the goal, but my understanding of https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/07/msg00069.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/07/msg00080.html is the plan was to do it cleanly, starting with leaf stuff and working down the dependency stack.

IMO python-monotonic should be reinstated until it's reverse dependencies are sorted out.
