Why not add ‘python-2’ to the fontforge package directly?
Thanks!

I understand cannot support Python 2 and 3 simultaneously, but I think
Leo was suggesting changing the ‘fontforge’ package to use Python 2.x
instead of 3.x. WDYT?
Also, could you explain why we need fontforge-with-python2 instead of
fontforge-with-python3?

This comment remains valid because there are .zip files in
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont, so I think we should keep it.
Thanks, it’s a nice to have these fonts built from source!

python 2 has a end of life determined, 2020,
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/
so the default should be python 3

.zip files in freefont and icecat are binaries, not useful for guix
another patch will remove .zip support

Thanks, applied.
However, --rounds=2 suggests that the build is not deterministic, which
we should fix at some point.

It often appears that in trivial scripts it is simply the 'print'
syntax that causes breakage between python2 and 3. FontForge's
documentation/examples seems to use the python2 print syntax. Also,
while packaging the fantasque-sans font, I found that it requires
fontforge with python2 (because of print syntax, ugh).
While I support moving things forward for python3, do we really want
python3 for fontforge if their documentation is introducing users to
python2 syntax and many font packages need python2?
Perhaps we leave python3 in the user-installable fontforge, but have a
private python2 variant for building fonts when necessary? What do
others think?

and you trivially fix it with 2to3 command

[1] uses obsolete print statement, i think it isn't needed to build
[2] uses print function

making people downgrade to python2 isn't nice[3]
"many font packages need python2" is questionable, freefont should
support python3 in next release, i think you can _build_
fantasque-sans with python3

ok
the ideal would be to make a font-build-system so we could use the
isMonoMono.py from freefont to validate all mono fonts; and the build
system would have the right python, not individual fonts
the problem with fantasque-sans is they have python code embedded in
bash, so i think 2to3 won't work
freefont had nontrivial code 2to3 can't convert

I think we should stay close to what Fontforge developers recommend.
