During the 3.7 boostrapping of the interstitial sequence of Python 3
packages, I have noticed it includes a lot of packages that are only
intended as Python 3 stdlib backports for older Pythons.
https://pypi.org/project/contextlib2/ is a backport of the standard
library’s contextlib module to earlier Python versions
https://pypi.org/project/linecache2/ is a backport of linecache to older
supported Pythons.
https://pypi.org/project/pathlib2/ The goal of pathlib2 is to provide a
backport of standard pathlib module which tracks the standard library
module, so all the newest features of the standard pathlib can be used
also on older Python versions.
https://pypi.org/project/traceback2/ is a backport of traceback to older
supported Pythons.
https://pypi.org/project/unittest2/ is a backport of the new features
added to the unittest testing framework in Python 2.7 and onwards.
https://pypi.org/project/simplejson/ is the externally maintained
development version of the json library included with Python 2.6 and
Python 3.0, but maintains backwards compatibility with Python 2.5.
https://pypi.org/project/funcsigs/ is a backport of the PEP 362 function
signature features from Python 3.3
https://pypi.org/project/mock/ is now part of the Python standard
library, available as unittest.mock in Python 3.3 onwards.
Now I see fairly no real reason to have python3-contextlib2,
python3-linecache2 etc. packaged and maintained in Fedora. The only
reason there is that other packages actually depend on them.
I think we should actively change the packages not to depend on those
and eventually get rid of them. This involves changing how upstreams are
using those. Thoughts?
