Just to be clear of misunderstanding here: A port away from py2-only pygtk does not necessarily have to mean a port to gtk+:3 at the same time - pygobject:3 (the `from gi.repository import ...` stuff) works just fine with gtk+:2[introspection] as well. Of course ideally it would be ported to gtk3 as well (and starting with later this year to gtk4). Mart signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Upd. The port to Python 3 is not finished in the upstream. Particularly it is still using pygtk, it seems no work in porting to gtk+3 has been done yet. I don't think I'm going to do it. If anybody will, many people will be grateful. I personally suggest to look at net-wireless/iwd (it has its own client iwctl, no other network managers like connman are necessary).
