Having moved firefox to the esr series, I thought I'd take a look at how the python2 to python3 transition is panning out with the browsers.
For mozilla (which also covers thunderbird, mozjs and perhaps seamonkey) google finds a plethora of bugs, and their wiki page points to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=1496527&hide_resolved=1 which requires a bugzilla login. My best guess is that even their latest version will not be ready. For qtwebengine (indeed, for Qt5 itself) Python 2.7 is required and Python 3 is not supported: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-platform-notes.html For webkitgtk+ a quick look at the book (without following through all the deps) suggests it might be buildable without python2. Gentoo seem to still be on 2.24 and claim it can be built with 3.6 or 3.7. But I thought it pulled in chromium code, like qtwebengine, and for that the metabug is still open: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=942720 ĸen -- Whilst all mushrooms are edible, the trick is to eat only those which will prove to be edible more than once.
