thas was "tools outside the archive". Debian has some infrastructure written in Python. I don't know if all of this is packaged and available in the archive. > and I don't think this is what Barry was referring to.

Getting these issues fixed is a dead-end for any other migration of packages to Python3 (well, maybe except for OpenStack). There is no reason for package maintainers to convert to Python3 for other packages. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
