Ah, sorry. I noticed your August 25 reply some time in October, but I didn't reply right away and forgot about it. My upstream just does `pafy.new(url)` and uses the following attributes/methods from the return value: - title - videoid - getbestaudio() - getbest() - bitrate - mediatype - extension - bigthumb - bigthumbhd As long as these attributes/functions continues to work in the new version of pafy or there's an equivalent replacement, I should be good. > My PoV in short - I would prefer not to reintroduce the python2 > version but if that is what you and your upstream really want and do, > then I guess the only solution is to do exactly that (but would also > prefer a notice to your upstream in that case saying that having > python3 support sooner rather then later is excellent thing :) ). Mopidy-YouTube is an extension (running in the same process/interpreter) to Mopidy, which is working hard to get to Python 2+3 support (ETA: <3 months). Once that is in place, we need to transition most of the Mopidy extension community (>50 extensions on PyPI, of which 13 are packaged in Debian) to supporting Python 2+3 before we can switch the /usr/bin/mopidy executable in Debian to run under Python 3 by default. I believe this will take at least on the order 6 additional months. Maybe less for the 13 in Debian, as I have upstream commit bit on most of them. All in all, we're talking about a time frame of around 9 months before Mopidy-YouTube in Debian will no longer need a Python 2 version of pafy. I wholeheartedly support any effort to move the world to Python 3, and preferably before the freeze of stretch. For Mopidy and pafy, I think that should be within reach. -- Stein Magnus Jodal jo...@debian.org jodal at #debian-python
