Hi all,
I would propose to remove PyGTK from the official repositories. PyGTK was used to create GTK2 applications in python2. It's deprecated and unmaintained since 2011 in favor of PyGObject, and does not receive any fixes since then.
...
Any objections?
We can't keep supporting unmaintained software for ages. Pygtk is one of those projects that keeps python2 in our repos, so I think it's best to update/patch projects to a version that uses PyGobject and remove features or drop the remaining packages that still depend on pygtk. Go for it!
