When should I drop python2 support for python-linecache2 & python-traceback2 (therefore, unittest2, mock, sphinx, pytest... and the rest of the Python 2 world if I pull this string until end...)

Hi,

python-fixture (the binary) is gone, therefore we have #952130 and
#952127. I've been reluctant to remove Py2 support from these, because
unittest2 needs it, and this would break a lot of packages (including,
indirectly, stuff like sphinx, pytest, etc.).

What is it that the team suggests at this point? Should I reintroduce
Py2 support in fixtures, or should we go ahead and do a missive Py2 RM
of what's left in the archive?

We're down to only 366 packages with Py2 in testing. We can either
postpone forever, or just go hardly on it (but there will be inevitable
collaterals...).

Your thoughts?

Cheers,
