are we OK to drop the ability to run gnulib-tool on Solaris 10?
I'm OK with it. When I deal with Solaris 10 (hey, our department's admin server is still Solaris 10 sparc!) I run gnulib-tool elsewhere and copy the results to Solaris 10. Does anybody do otherwise?
Solaris 10 doesn't have Python 3; Python 2.6.4 (2009) is the default though Python 2.7.18 (2020) and Python 2.3.3 (2003) are also available. Since gnulib-tool's Python implementation requires Python 3.7 or later, Solaris 10 is already kinda on its last legs as far as gnulib-tool is concerned.
If it's really necessary to support Solaris 10 sh we can still do it, at the cost of renaming .gnulib-tool.py to gnulib-tool.pydot or something like that. Not sure it's worth the hassle.
