Can't comment on that, RATP precedes my involvement.

I thought it were already Python 3.0 compatible after the fixes in:

https://lore.barebox.org/barebox/20220908093005.3035259-1-s.hauer@pengutronix.de/
https://lore.barebox.org/barebox/20230207162055.10050-1-jmaselbas@kalray.eu/
https://lore.barebox.org/barebox/20241212071928.2466094-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de/

Any remaining incompatibilities are bugs IMO and need to be fixed, yes.

Cheers,
Ahmad
