I did some work on this yesterday, but I fear that we won't find a solution to this in time for buster. I crafted a patch for nautilus-python that builds a python3 package, but unfortunately the python2 and python3 packages cannot be co-installed and need to conflict on each other. See the discussion on my merge request for further details: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/nautilus-python/merge_requests/1 I discussed the issue with Jeremy Bicha in detail and we see two options: a) Develop a hack for nautilus-python to build a separate python3 version. That would need to have a new include path for nautilus-python extension in order to be co-installable with the python2 version. Jeremy would consider to accept such a hack for Buster. b) Wait till after buster, and then do a proper transition from python-nautilus to pytohn3-nautilus. I'll see whether I find time during the next days to work out something for option a, but I have my doubts that we'll make it in time for Buster. Cheers jonas
