Re: [Mailman-Developers] Migrating Postorius and Hyperkitty to Python 3
What's the state for Centos? I think it was the last likely distro we cared about with old python needs, but I'm not sure core supports it at all any more.

We're still seeing plenty of questions about new installations of Mailman 2 on mailman-users. Mailman 3 is still a double-diamond application. As I wrote in a different thread, I don't think Mailman 3 is going to be ready for the mom & pop listowner for a while. If versions of Centos (or whatever) don't support Python 3 by then, "let them run containers". :-)

Probably not, as you point out.
Yep, and we have a good container story now, so I think that’s entirely viable. There is work being done on Debian packaging for MM3 and I think having everything on Python 3 should make that story better too. (Debian unstable does have Python3 Django).
