[Bug 1735363] Re: inkscape: Port to Python 3

 

I'd second Ted's suggestion of splitting out python code to a separate
package, that's something we've been pondering doing for other reasons
already.

Do we have a listing of what exactly uses python?

I know the extension programs do, and those could be split out to an
inkscape-extras package.

If there are any utilities or build helpers in python, those should be
redoable in python3 without much fuss.  Give me a list and I can make
sure they all get done.

Is there anything else besides that?  Does Inkscape have any python
bindings internally that are version specific?

@moini, being demoted from main isn't that big of a deal, it's more a
loss against Ubuntu than Inkscape itself.  Most users will have universe
enabled so it's not going to impact them.  It just limits Canonical's
ability to make good use of Inkscape in their own products.  Like Ted
points out, users have many ways to get Inkscape.
