#11796 — should Debian add itself to https://python3statement.org ?

https://python3statement.org/ is a site documenting the projects which 
are supporting the policy of dropping Python2 to keep Python3 only.

The site is designed for python packages specifically, to have only 
Python3 supported by end of 2020.

But it seems to me it would be in the spirit of the site to add Debian's 
pledge to remove Python2 (we are currently in the middle of doing just 
that).

Is this a thing that we want to do as a project, to add Debian to 
https://python3statement.org/ ?

Hi Drew,

https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python2-rm.html

Given the current progress it looks not easy to make a promise.
If some upstream happen to lag behind the schedule of python3
migration, we'll just stuck there for a while.

Thanks all for the discussion.

Looks like we don't have consensus for listing on python3statement.org.  
As a whole-system distribution, we're running on a different timeframe 
to the individual python packages.

But in any case, the process of removing python2 packages from Debian is 
underway. By end of 2020 we might be able to judge whether it will be a 
Release Target for bullseye.
