Will Subversion upgrade from Python 2.x to 3.7.3?

["Smith, Madison (CGI Federal)" <Ma...@cgifederal.com>]

Good morning SVN Devs!



I've been looking at the roadmap and was wondering why there isn't any push to move to Python 3?



Python 2 support ends at the end of the year...in 3 months! Many big businesses, contractors, etc that use this product for years will no longer be able to as they have policies in place about not using unsupported software/libraries.



Could we expect a switch to Python 3 and if so is there an ETA?



Thank you,

Madison J. Smith

All our development tools -- build generator, tests etc. -- already work
with Python 3.

It you're interested in the Python bindings, then please take a look at
this branch:

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/branches/swig-py3/

It's mostly complete but still needs some work before we can merge it to
trunk. Any help would be most welcome.
