Two years later, I'd like to re-propose this patch that moves nmbug to python3.
I have read what PEP 394 says (thanks for the pointer, Trevor!) but in
practice (a) i do not see debian pointing /usr/bin/python to python3 any
time in the near future, (b) python2 is officially EOL, and (c) i don't
have a "python" binary in my $PATH at all any more on the machines where
i do most of my development work.
Can we please just be done with requiring people who actively develop
notmuch to keep python 2 installed, or to point some other element named
python maintained in their path ?
