Indeed. It should be fairly easy to do: only a few pieces depend on
Python:
$ find -iname '*.py'
./etckeeper-dnf/__init__.py
./etckeeper-dnf/etckeeper.py
./zypper-etckeeper.py
./etckeeper-bzr/__init__.py
./yum-etckeeper.py
dnf, zypper and yum don't concern us here. bzr maybe not either.
so maybe the simplest fix would be to change the dependency to a
soft-depends so it could be installed without python.
i'd welcome a patch to do that.
did you test it in python3 to see if it *actually* requires python2?
a.
