NoMorePython2

No More Python 2!

Problem Statement

Python 2 is in maintenance mode and everyone should shift to Python 3. We've made the move in OpenEmbedded Core so that core-image-sato doesn't pull in Python 2, but Python 2 is still needed during the build.

Goal

To be able to build first core-image-sato and then world of OpenEmbedded Core without Python 2 being present on the host, or being built via python-native.

Status

Patches Ready

• ca-certificates
• libsoup
• grub
• pseudo
• ninja

To Review

• xcb-proto (do all callers use py3)
• texinfo-dummy-native (does it still work)

Broken

• python3-pycairo (appears to just need a Waf update)
  • Add waf-native to oe-core
  • Extend waf class to invoke waf-native using Python 3
  • Use waf class in python3-pycairo
• webkitgtk
• ovmf
• eglinfo (-x11 -egl)

Needs Python 2, actively refuses to use Python 3
