[Sugar-devel] Farewell GStreamer on Python 2, a push for Python 3 porting

[James Cameron]

Sugar uses Python 2.

GStreamer project is dropping support for Python 2, and as a consequence Sugar won’t be available in Debian, and then later Ubuntu.

Hope I understand this correctly.

Haven’t heard yet what Fedora will do, but guess it will be similar.
