I intend to drop python2-tornado. There are following dependent packages:
- python-httpretty build time, for Python 2 tests, tests can be disabled
- python-pika build time, for Python 2 tests, one file can be skipped
- python-urllib3 build time, for Python 2 tests, tests can be disabled
- salt (and salt-{api,cloud,syndic,ssh,master,minion}) runtime, python 3 switch is blocked by a fixable bug https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/51883 salt is not required by anything
- uwsgi-plugin-python2-tornado (from uwsgi) runtime, but not required by anything
- bup and bup-web runtime and buildtime, but not required by anything
If anybody wants to package python2-tornado before we drop it, let me know in 3 weeks.
Reasons below:

Hi.
Tornado 6 doesn't support Python 2. Let's update the python-torando package to Python 3 only. There are several consumers of python2-torando and if their maintainers are interested, they can package it separately.
$ dnf repoquery --repo=compose{,-source} --whatrequires python2-tornado bup-0:0.29.2-3.fc30.src bup-web-0:0.29.2-3.fc30.x86_64 python-httpretty-0:0.9.5-5.fc30.src python-pika-0:1.0.1-1.fc31.src python-urllib3-0:1.24.2-1.fc31.src salt-0:2019.2.0-1.fc31.noarch uwsgi-plugin-python2-tornado-0:2.0.17.1-10.fc31.x86_64
Note that tornado is often used to test things. We can (and should) just skip such tests from Python 2 httpretty, pika and urllib3.
Is the plan OK? I'll talk to the dependent packages maintainers, but wanted to check with torando co-maintainers first.
