The bug you are referencing is the error output of the pycompile step during package installation. The python2 package installs a python3 only file (not the py3.py ending) so it fails. This can be caused by either upstreams installer incorrectly installing py3 files in the py2 variant (as upstream installation usually does not have this pycompile step a stray py3 file does not harm much) or less likely the package installs the file in the wrong package. In any case the fix should be simple, the package can take care to not install py3 files in the py2 package. I can help by providing a patch if this solution is acceptable. Regardless we should check if foolscap can also use python3. But even if that is possible I still would like to keep the python2 version as foolscap and twisted only so recently got py3 support users will still need the python2 versions for a while until those that had to wait for migration can migrate.

If you look at the txtorcon removal, you'll see it fixed RC bugs about the py2 version, so it was not just a gratitious change... https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905253 A. -- Gods don't like people not doing much work.

First one has to check if foolscap can work with python3 twisted. Please do not remove python2 packages from the bottom up, start from the dependency leaves and work down instead of just breaking everything above. txtorcon still supports python2 according to their github page.

Package: foolscap Version: 0.13.1-1 Severity: serious txtorcon does not build the Python2 variant (python-txtorcon) since its last upload, only the python3 one (python3-txtorcon) remains. As of now the package can't be built due to missing packages. Sebastian
