Python 3 Compatiable Yum #61

It is great to see this update. Any ETA on when it can be applied to master branch?

j-mracek commented 4 years ago

For anyone who has an interest in Python 2/3 compatible software management tool I have a good news. There is DNF. It is fork of YUM that is maintained and part of many distribution including Fedora, Centos, RHEL, OpenSuse, Mageila, ... . YUM project is EOL, therefore merging this PR with knowledge that it is not maintained anyway is something that I would like to avoid. I have a plan to close the pull request.

Many installation scripts are still depending on yum. I wonder if you would like to make a last test check after this merge.

I am really sorry but I do recommend to everyone to port py2 YUM scripts to Python3 DNF scripts. The reasons are:

  1. There is no plan to release YUM with PY3 support. Yum was already removed from Fedora31 therefore it dies completely in Fedora with Fedora 30 EOL .
  2. Python 3 compatible YUM code will have many new issues but no one will fix them
