  • Plans for removing Python 2.x dependencies?

    From Victor Escobar@VERT to alt.bbs.synchronet on Monday, January 18, 2021 22:05:53

    Hello,

    Now that Python 2.x is EOL'ed, what are the SBBS community's plans to remove any dependencies and move fully to Python 3?

    TIA.

    Synchronet, itself, doesn't use Python for anything. I think the libmozjs build requires Python so we when migrate from 1.8.5 to something more recent we'll also get rid of the older Python requirement.
