Re: Reg- binclock porting from python 2 to python 3

[Tomas Orsava]

Hi Rajesh!

the `binclock` project is a bit problematic. As you can see in the note 
on the left side on the PortingDB, the upstream for this project is 
abandoned, emails bounce. If you go look into the Bugzilla link on the 
same page, you'll also find that someone has made a Python 3 patch, but 
the maintainer is not responding.

The best thing you could do is to fork the upstream (i.e. create a new 
repo on GH/BitBucket/GitLab and put the current source files there), and 
then use the patch on BZ to port it to Python 3. Test if it works, and 
then post to the Bugzilla that the software has a new upstream it should 
switch to.

Alternatively, you can try your luck on another package.
Are you interested more in porting Python code or Fedora spec files for 
Python projects?

Thank you for your initiative!
Tomas
