Re: Dropping Python 2 support for web.py before buster
while doing that, remember to file a RC bug against rebuildd, since it won't be installable anymore and it will need to be removed from testing. On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at 11:31 PM W.

OK, I'll upload web.py without Python 2 support then. If someone has strong interest in rebuildd, they has to make a Python 3 version anyway. If the package is not in buster, there can still be a backport. Thanks for your input, Julien, Julien, and Mattia!

I could make a python-cheroot binary package, but that would need to go through NEW again if I remember well, and if it's just to accomodate a package which upstream didn't port to Python 3 after so many years... isn't it beating a dead horse?

Dropping Python 2 support for web.py before buster
Hi, I'm going to package the latest git master of web.py¹, because of Python 3.7 compatibility. It has a new dependency on cheroot², which has only a Python 3 version in Debian. I could ask Julien to provide a Python 2 package of cheroot for buster, but I prefer to drop Python 2 support of web.py instead. Any opinions?
