Hi Guido,

There are currently 6 Tryton modules affected as rdepends of python-vobject.
There are still some bits in the Tryton framework lacking Python3 support, so
it is currently not possible to switch the whole Tryton stuff to Python3 (and I
suppose this won't be the case for stretch). Dropping the Python2 version of
python-vobject would seriously hurt those Tryton modules. So please let's find
a way to keep the Python2 version in the archive (for stretch).

Cheers,
Mathias
