Ack, there's still plenty of time to reintroduce it anyway. I'm filing an RM bug now. Cheers, Moritz

Hi, Has there been further development? Otherwise I'd suggest to remove monkeysign for now, it's blocking the removal of pygtk (and in turn a few other libraries) and it can still be re-introduced by bullseye release if it gets ported.

There was a 3 year old "python 3" branch sitting around in the repo that I revived by merging in the latest code. Tests still fail (the test suite hangs on py2 and fails on py3), but at least there's some work done. A large part of the porting was already done by converting `print` statements to the `logging` library (thanks to simonft). Help on this front would be greatly appreciated. I was already considering abandoning monkeysign before I realized I had to port it to Python 3, so it is likely this software will simply die if no one steps up to help.
