[heketi-devel] Does anyone object to removing the python bindings for the Heketi client?

[John Mulligan]

Hi Niels,

The Heketi python bindings should already be Python 3 compatible. I updated 
them a while back and tried to make sure that they would be regularly tested 
for both Python 2 and 3 compatibility via tox.
My guess is that the RPM "doesn't know" this.

If you really want to remove the RPM from Fedora because of lack of use I 
suppose that might be OK, but the binding themselves will continue to exist 
and I hope to use them more for tests in heketi's own repo.
