Please port to Python3

[tillea]

Hello,
the Debian Med team is maintaining pbcore for official Debian. The recently released Debian 10 was the last Debian release featuring Python2 since this programming language is EOL. If you are interested that we continue to maintain pbcore in official Debian (and that users of other modern distributions will have no problems to install pbcore on their systems) I'd recommend you port your code to Python3. The 2to3 tool might be of great help here.
Kind regards, Andreas.

Thanks a lot for the quick response. Is there any rough time frame for the port? From a Debian perspective its not really urgent until our next release. Its just good to know how to schedule things. Kind regards, Andreas.

When is the next Debian release timed?

I'm not allowed to share any timelines. This has nothing to do with you ;)

When its ready. :-P I guess somewhen in 2021.

OK, thanks for the info anyway, Andreas.

Py3 is done now, unfortunately we aren't fully Py 3.8 clean due to the pyxb dependency in #122
