I had missed the End-of-Life announcement of Python 2 for 2020. When installing a missing package on my new laptop, pip did warn me about this upcoming event.
I have been reading up on the conversion. Unfortunately, I can find no information yet on coping with Python 2 only packages. So far, I identified that I am using at least 2 packages that are Python 2 only: + HTMLgen (the old original version that has been an orphan for decades; simple but effective) + eGenix (excellent package with a.o. MxDateTime; I can only find a sprint attempt to convert t to Python 3) Any suggestions how to port to Python 3, when using Python 2 only packages? Although the websites state that we can keep using Python 2 after maintenance stops, this may in practice not be the case. Any time that we need to get a new laptop operational, we need a way to install it. E.g. pip should stay working... Gerrit -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
