Hello,
the Debian Med team is maintaining RSEM for official Debian. The recently released Debian 10 was the last Debian release featuring Python2 since this programming language is EOL. If you are interested that we continue to maintain RSEM in official Debian (and that users of other modern distributions will have no problems to install RSEM on their systems) I'd recommend you port your code to Python3.
I have crafted a patch using the tool 2to3 which might help you with the Python3 port. It would be great if you could test this patch soon and also add a test suite we could use as Continuous Integration test to make sure rsem works best under Debian.
Kind regards, Andreas.
