I maintain the packages for xlrd, xlwt, and xlutils in the AUR. The project behind them, python-excel, will probably release a Python 3 version within the next few months.
Currently, each product has two packages with the prefix python-* and python2-*. Both point to a Python 2 version, but I will eventually move the python- packages to use Python 3. The python-* packages have a description that adds on something like "(Use python2-xlrd!)". Should I have the python-* packages deleted, then recreate them when a Python 3 version is released?
no you dont have to get those packages deleted. leave a comment in the python-* packages that they will eventually be updated to python3 so if the users specifically want to use the python2 versions they can get them. at the time the python-* packages start depending on python3, remove the extra stuff in the description (you could already do that now) -- Ike
