I'm going to package the latest git master of web.py¹, because of
Python 3.7 compatibility. It has a new dependency on cheroot², which
has only a Python 3 version in Debian. I could ask Julien to provide a
Python 2 package of cheroot for buster, but I prefer to drop Python 2
support of web.py instead. Any opinions?
I would say "go for the drop!!!" if not for the presence of a reverse
dependency of the python2 package (rebuildd). So IMHO the best would
be:
* port rebuildd to py3
* drop the py2 package
Julien & Julien, how realistic is moving rebuildd³ to Python 3 for
buster? Or better upload cheroot with Python 2 support for now?
The update of web.py is, unfortunately, necessary for Python 3.7.
