Hi- I am very aware of Fedora's desire to sunset Python 2, and commented on this very issue on the Swift forums: https://forums.swift.org/t/python-3-support-for-building-swift-toolchain/27020. The Swift folks have been actively working towards removing Python 2 as a dependency (for example: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/32685) but this was not done in time for Swift 5.3 as the code is frozen presumably per an internal schedule probably related to the next version of iOS, macOS, etc. The Python 2 dependency is there because the Swift toolchain uses it for building. I do not know what version will be declared Python 2-free (next-version builds have not yet been made available per https://github.com/apple/swift/releases/) and the main branch (that the next version will be forked from) does not yet consistently build cleanly because of the number and variety of commits that is normal for a large, active project. Thanks for the info! Glad to hear this is moving forward. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle. Changing version to 34. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '34'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 34 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Fedora Linux 34 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-06-07. Fedora Linux 34 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
