Hi, and thanks for pinging me on this. I had originally wanted to hang onto ipykernel-py2 on the basis that it didn't add much to the dependency tree not in any case blocked by ipython [0] and is _probably_ useful for a certain amount of legacy analysis code. However, keeping support for python2 stuff around when it's blocking the wider py2removal transition is not really a hill I want to die on. Given that this bug has been filed, and I'm not actually now using the python2 version myself, I'm inclined to just let the RM happen. Gordon [0]: ipykernel -> jupyter-client -> jupyter-core -> pyzmq can be dropped together, I think all other dependencies are blocked on at least something else. > > Regards, > -- > Sandro "morph" Tosi > My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ > Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi > Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandrotosi
