13 packages still requiring Python 3.7 in Fedora 32

[Miro Hrončok]

In Fedora 32, we have updated Python to 3.8:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.8

There are last 13 packages that were still not successfully rebuilt with Python 
3.8 and they require Python 3.7 at run-time, causing broken dependencies. The 
packages are not installable. I don't think the bugzillas are moving anywhere.


Technically, such noninstallable packages should be retired one week before the 
beta freeze. I'm writing this e-mail to raise awareness about the problem. Some 
of the packages are awaiting upstream fixes.

I'm going to tag a beta for Cartopy today or tomorrow (depending on how
quick I can go through the issues), and import it into Fedora, so that
should unblock the other ones, I think.

Upstream has been informed, but they're just too busy to fix it at the
moment. It isn't a simple enough issue for me to fix either,
unfortunately. I'll have another look this week.

I think nineml is a leaf package that isn't affecting other packages.
So, could we please leave it with the hope that upstream will be able to
look at it sometime soon? Otherwise, we'll have just retire and
un-retire it when upstream does eventually get to it.

One potential solution would be to keep Python 3.7 for now, instead of causing 
needless breakage.

Could you please elaborate on how do we do that?

Do you propose to revert python3 from 3.8 back to 3.7 and start bootstrapping 
all the Python packages back with 3.7, 2 weeks before the beta freeze? How would 
you deal with the number of packages that would fail to build with 3.7 for 
unrelated reasons? I suppose it would be way more over 13.

Do you consider 13 broken packages from 3583 a needless breakage?

Do you propose Fedora to stay on one Python version forever to avoid needless 
breakage? What happens when this Python version is no longer maintained upstream?

I am sorry, none of this sounds like something we want, so what do you actually 
propose?

4 packages still requiring Python 3.7 in Fedora 32: Retire mailman3 and python-subunit2sql

The last four are:

mailman3                   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1715598
mraa                       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1721671
python-subunit2sql         https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1746853
upm                        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1736936

mailman3                   abompard
mraa                       pbrobinson
python-subunit2sql         chandankumar
upm                        pbrobinson

Since Peter replied that mraa and upm are on his todo list, I suggest we retire 
mailman3 and python-subunit2sql for now, so we don't have it in the GA repo with 
broken depndndencies (and we obsolete via fedora-obsoelte-packages to prevent 
upgrade to Fedora 32 problems). Later we can unretire any time during the Fedora 
32 life cycle.

There's a PR open to update mailman3 and fix things:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mailman3/pull-request/2

I'm not sure why, but both Duck and myself are supposed to be
co-maintainers of this and we're not...
