[Bug 1736324] Re: python-pyperclip depends on pygtk2 which is deprecated

[James Page]

xclip is the current primary runtime dependency:

py2: xclip | xsel | python-gtk2 | python-qt4
py3: xclip | xsel | python3-pyqt4

pyperclip will auto-detect and choose xclip over gtk so I don't think
there is any action to take here; we could drop gtk from the
alternatives list, but if its going to stick around in universe anyway
it does not feel worth maintaining a delta from Debian.

Title:
  python-pyperclip depends on pygtk2 which is deprecated

Status in python-pyperclip package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  python-pyperclip is one of three packages keeping pygtk2 in Ubuntu
  main. (The other two are ibus-sunpinyin and system-config-kickstart)

  pygtk has been unmaintained upstream since around 2011. The way
  forward is to port python-pyperclip to use GObject Introspection
  bindings. This also requires porting to GTK3.

  For more information on GObject Introspection see:
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GObjectIntrospection
