Hi Sandro,

Upstream README seems to indicate that there is no release that supports 
*both* python 2.7 and 3.7 so this is not a choice between 2.0 and 1.9.

More likely, two source packages are required for buster. Alternatively one of 
Python 2 / Python 3 must be dropped from pylint (presumably Python 2). If 
these are the options, which are you intending to follow?

No-one is ignoring that statement, just hoping that there is progress towards 
a solution rather than statements of what the problem is. We have all read the 
bug log and know the problem. You've indicated that you don't want help, but 
not what the timeline to a fix is. If time is a problem to deal with RC bugs, 
perhaps you'd be happy for team mates in PAPT to deal with this?

For me, at least, the inability to have pylint3 installed and test out 
python3.7 on the same machine is now hindering other Debian work, including 
the work that I wanted to do this week at DebCamp.

cheers
Stuart
