Hi all, We now have ongoing work to update all our Python components to Python 3 except for the bindings. We have taken care of the build system to work with both the Python 2 and 3 codebase thus the bindings do not need to be deprecated/updated before Python 2 EOL (i.e. 2020, and even then I do not know if an update will be necessary).
I thus do not think that we need to deprecate or move the bindings to a separate repo. However, the fact that the bindings are not maintained is a problem. The code to build them is not straightforward <https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/d733b1031350e03bce443aa287044eb4eee1053a/configure.ac#L2256-L2558> and I do not know anyone who has the time or interest to update or simplify the process in the future.
