[Bug 1738968] New: gimp-layer-via-copy-cut depends on Python 2

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1738968

Bug ID: 1738968
           Summary: gimp-layer-via-copy-cut depends on Python 2
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
            Status: NEW
         Component: gimp-layer-via-copy-cut
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
        QA Contact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail],
                    [e-mail]
            Blocks: 1698500 (F31_PY2REMOVAL)
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora

Python 2.7 will reach end-of-life in January 2020, over 9 years after it was
released. This falls within the Fedora 31 lifetime.
Packages that depend on Python 2 are being switched to Python 3 or removed from
Fedora:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal#Inf...
Python 2 will be retired in Fedora 32:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2

To help planning, we'd like to know the plans for gimp-layer-via-copy-cut's
future. Specifically:

- What is the reason for the Python2 dependency? (Is it software written in
Python, or does it just provide Python bindings, or use Python in the build
system or test runner?)

- What are the upstream/community plans/timelines regarding Python 3?

- What is the guidance for porting to Python 3? (Assuming that there is someone
who generally knows how to port to Python 3, but doesn't know anything about
the particular package, what are the next steps to take?)

This bug is filed semi-automatically, and might not have all the context
specific to gimp-layer-via-copy-cut.
If you need anything from us, or something is unclear, please mention it here.

Thank you.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31

Changing version to 31.

The plugin is written in Python 2.

Upstream currently has no exact plan for porting to Python 3.

It would be best to port to Python 3 using 2to3 script and send the fix to
upstream https://www.deviantart.com/slybug/art/Layer-via-Copy-Cut-305728401

--- Comment #5 from Petr Viktorin  ---
It only makes sense to do this after Gimp switches to Python 3.
I expect there will be a FESCo exception to Gimp on Python 2, and it would make
sense if the exception covers the plugin as well.

--- Comment #6 from Ben Cotton  ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Bug #1737933 is still actual for Fedora 36, do we need to bump Fedora version
here?

Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07.

Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
