I'd second Ted's suggestion of splitting out python code to a separate package, that's something we've been pondering doing for other reasons already.
Do we have a listing of what exactly uses python? I know the extension programs do, and those could be split out to an inkscape-extras package. If there are any utilities or build helpers in python, those should be redoable in python3 without much fuss. Give me a list and I can make sure they all get done. Is there anything else besides that? Does Inkscape have any python bindings internally that are version specific? @moini, being demoted from main isn't that big of a deal, it's more a loss against Ubuntu than Inkscape itself. Most users will have universe enabled so it's not going to impact them. It just limits Canonical's ability to make good use of Inkscape in their own products. Like Ted points out, users have many ways to get Inkscape. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735363 Title: inkscape: Port to Python 3 Status in Inkscape: Triaged Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu: New Status in inkscape package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: inkscape: Use/Port of Python3 needed, or considering demotion.
