dev-python/pygit just dropped Python 2 support entirely. Since blohg is Python 2-only, its presence is going to prevent users from upgrading and prevent us from removing the old version once the new one is stable. Please either port your package to py3 or add py3 to PYTHON_COMPAT if it works with py3. If it doesn't, I will p.u.mask the git flag on the judgement day.
s/pygit/pygit2/ ofc.
Ping.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #2) > Ping. I spent some time trying to port to python 3 this week. The way mercurial was ported to python3 makes it very hard to port any software using its api to python3 too. they want bytes in a lot of "string" apis. I'm still deciding if I'll drop mercurial support or try to port it.
Final ping. New version of pygit2 is going stable now, and the old version is going to be removed.
quick update: I have a solution and I'm working on it. I expected to be done today, but it will take a little more time. I don't know if masking it helps you in any way, but if it does, feel free to do it. I unmask it when bumping the package with the python3 fixes I'm working on. Anyway, it should not take a lot of time now that I have the solution.
done. it works nicely with python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 now, however PYTHON_COMPAT is still limited to 3.6, because of frozen-flask (3.6 only) and mercurial (3.6 and 3.7). I'll look soon at adding the newer python versions to them.
