Hi all,
Python 2 reaches End of Life on 2020-01-01. We currently have >950 python2 modules in the repos. A lot of these are not used by any other package in the repositories. I think we should work towards removing them.
Leaving only python2 modules that are really required by other software, highlights what needs worked on to port to python3.
Note Fedora is doing a similar removal for F30: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal
What are opinions on this? Should I make a TODO list?
Below is a list of python2 modules that are a dependency for any other package. I did not check makedepends and I did not check recursively to build this list.

Below is a list of python2 modules that are a dependency for any other package. I did not check makedepends and I did not check recursively to build this list.
The list contains optional dependencies. How to handle these?

I see no conceptual difference between optional dependencies and hard dependencies. Both are equally deserving of being in the repos for the sake of providing dependent functionality to other packages.

Yes - this was a quick pass list. There is probably a bunch that should not be removed and a lot more that could be removed...

Here's the list, filtered for optdeps
$ comm -23 <(curl https://www.archlinux.org/todo/die-python2-die/json | jq -r ".packages | .[] | .pkgname" | sort -u) <(expac -l '\n' -S '%o' | grep ^python2 | sort -u) > py2-leaf-no-optdeps
I haven't checked makedepends or checkdepends as there's no convenient way to get this information from the db.

I've just updated the todolist for the unneeded python2 module removal with data from archweb since the list lacked a lot of packages.
Everyone who has archweb with all repos importd can run the following to get a list of packages which require python2 but aren't required by anything else.
from main.models import Package
pkg = Package.objects.filter(pkgname='python2').first() for repopkg in pkg.get_requiredby(): if not repopkg.pkg.get_requiredby(): print(repopkg.pkg)
