From 242f7bd1b68428fc20a9d7f219f70a21372dd5c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Stanley Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2020 14:04:54 +0000 Subject: Remove use_2to3 backward compat for Setuptools Odds are this was never used by any PBR-based projects, but was included from the beginning to support a feature of Setuptools for a utility which has been long since discouraged. As of Setuptools 46.2.0 and Python 3.9 it's generating deprecation warnings, and is slated for removal from the Python 3.10 standard library. https://bugs.python.org/issue40360 https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2086 Change-Id: I6972984f29413d2534d802b142fa9323a7e4a4a3 --- releasenotes/notes/use_2to3-removal-ac48bf9fbfa049b1.yaml | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) create mode 100644 releasenotes/notes/use_2to3-removal-ac48bf9fbfa049b1.yaml (limited to 'releasenotes') diff --git a/releasenotes/notes/use_2to3-removal-ac48bf9fbfa049b1.yaml b/releasenotes/notes/use_2to3-removal-ac48bf9fbfa049b1.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0e34ca --- /dev/null +++ b/releasenotes/notes/use_2to3-removal-ac48bf9fbfa049b1.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +--- +other: + - | + The 2to3 conversion utility has been long discouraged in favor of writing + multi-version-capable scripts.
