The standard library module lib2to3 is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.10.

https://bugs.python.org/issue40360

lib2to3 will likely become an external library available from PyPI, but my guess is that setuptools don't want to have more dependencies.

Here is what I think might be a path forward:

In the next setuptools release, using use_2to3 will become deprecated as well (with no set removal date). On Python 3.10, setuptools will have optional dependency (e.g. via setuptools[use_2to3]) on the 3rd party lib2to3 module to keep supporting installing old packages.

I'd prefer simply to drop support for building with 2to3 support and to require those old packages to be built on old versions of setuptools (or not at all). Regardless, let's get the deprecation in ASAP as possible to signal to users to stop using it.

I'm getting build failures because of this lib2to3 use https://github.com/twisted/ldaptor/runs/1205572060#step:12:103 so I'm in favour of it being removed.

note, you could use fissix instead of lib2to3, if you still wanted to support on the fly translation

Odds are this was never used by any PBR-based projects, but was
included from the beginning to support a feature of Setuptools for a
utility which has been long since discouraged. As of Setuptools
46.2.0 and Python 3.9 it's generating deprecation warnings, and is
slated for removal from the Python 3.10 standard library.

This library does not support Python 3.x
because it uses `unicode` and `long` functions in `writer.py`.

Fix the problem by using the `use_2to3` option in `setup.py`.

Setuptools has removed support for 2to3 during builds since version
58[1]. But the nose's setup.py relies on use_2to3 option in setuptools,
it is failing an import and building without running 2to3 and generating
valid python3 code. As a workaround, we use command line 2to3 tool to
translate to Python3 code before build it.

Fixes:
