    Hi,

    Would it be possible to remove 2to3 from Python3.12 without waiting for 3.13 ?

    I see in the meantime a new usage was brought back.

    I'll check if this "slimit" package can be easily switched to python3-fissix; which is a 2to3 fork that is already used to keep python3-nose
    artificially alive.

    For the record, python3-fissix is a backport of the latest available
    2to3, not a fork. I communicated with upstream about its future a
    couple of years ago, and the long-term plan at that time was that fissix
    would either:

    1. Cease to exist when 2to3 was eventually dropped (both were planned
    even back then), or else
    2. Possibly migrate to something else but maintain legacy interfaces
    3. Someone else actually forks 2to3 from Python 3.12, and fissix
    begins to depend on that fork.

    Has anyone heard anything about the second or third cases?

    Regards,
    Nicholas
