Drop apputils and gflags. about apitools HOT 5 CLOSED

any update ? google-apputils is deprecated and they're closing things as "switch to absl-py".

this is holding back Python 3 migration as google-apputils doesn't work w/py3.

from apitools.

apputils hasn't been a core dependency of this lib in ages: it's only need to use the generated CLIs. (note that the tests have been passing in python3 for a while.)

is there an example of something specific failing under python3?

from apitools.

google-apputils is listed in setup.py still

from apitools.

Only in the extras, though -- so you can install this just fine in python3, it's only if you try to install google-apitools[testing] or google-apitools[cli] that you run into that dep.

(You're right that it should probably be removed, but I don't think it should be blocking anything.)

from apitools.

in other words, we can't run the tests in distros right ?
