<br>
<br> I'd agree. Python 2 won't be supported any more which could prove problematic in many ways. IMHO, shipping a flatpak so Python 2 can still be provided should be seen more as "life support" and not a cure, which should still be a high priority for those that are able to do so. (We should remember that Python 3 was first released in December 2008.) :-)

And Gtk2 (and by extension pygtk2) are pretty ancient, so it would be good to transition to Gtk3 at the same time.

The skills to create a flatpak are likely different than those needed to migrate to Python 3, so the efforts need not be mutually exclusive. There is an argument one could make for sticking with the flatpak approach even when Python is upgraded.
