Re: The state of Zanata Python client (Python 3 support)
Thanks to Sundeep, who has already started and worked on this. So hopefully we will have a working py3 zanata-python-client for F30+ soon. :-) See https://github.com/zanata/zanata-python-client/pull/52 Jens On Tue, Mar 5, 2019 at 9:56 PM Martin Kolman wrote: > Hi, > I come from the tha Anaconda installer project and we use the Python > Zanata client to push & pull translations from the > Fedora Zanata instance where Anaconda is being translated.

Re: The state of Zanata Python client (Python 3 support)
Hi, Somebody fix me if I'm wrong but as far as I know Python Zanata client has never been an official client of Zanata. It has always been just community supported. The official client RPM package is called zanata-client, its main command line tool is /usr/bin/zanata-cli, and it is written in Java. This may be the proper solution for you instead of the Python client. But both the official Zanata client and whole Zanata have been... not really officially abandoned but just all original developers no longer work on this. There was a discussion recently that maybe Zanata should be totally dropped and replaced with Weblate. Sorry for no links, I'm too tired to find them now. Now looking at your email address which says "@redhat.com" I think that it should be me asking you about the future of Zanata because it seems that the decisions have been made inside your company rather than by the outer community. HTH.
