GitPython wheel includes "py2" in filename, but doesn't support Python 2

[toddmowen]

I'm not sure the proper conventions for using wheel to distribute packages, but the current artifact on PyPI is called GitPython-2.1.12-py2.py3-none-any.whl, implying support for Python 2. Although it's true that the "Meta" section on PyPI specifies Python >=3.0.

Is it possible to configure wheel to name it just with py3 instead?

2.1.12 specifies

Requires-Python: >=3.0, !=3.0.*, !=3.1.*, !=3.2.*, !=3.3.*

2.1.11 specifies

Requires-Python: >=2.7, !=3.0.*, !=3.1.*, !=3.2.*, !=3.3.*

The changelog however does not mention removal of 2.7 support:

https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/master/doc/source/changes.rst#2112---bugfixes-and-features

Python 2.7 support was dropped in #312

Perhaps doing this in a patch version was a bit heavy handed?

BTW, python 2 support was kind of dropped in 2.1.11 7f08b77#diff-c276fc3c4df38382ec884e59657b869dR125 (when using a unicode branch/tag name that will fail)

@olivierlefloch I absolutely agree, and apologies, and I have just released v2.1.13 which returns python 2 support.

I am trying to cut a new release v3.0.0 which removes python 2 support, if I can manage to figure out all the places to edit to make that happen. For now I don't know how to turn off the py2. part in the whl filename, but I will keep trying 😅.

@Byron
I did a quick experiment on the tip of master, and it appears that if you update setup.cfg to

[bdist_wheel]
universal=0

then the python tag will be just py3 instead of py2.py3 and the resulting wheel filename is GitPython-2.1.13-py3-none-any.whl. Assuming you are building with Python 3.

You would still want to update setup.py as you did before, to change python_requires and classifiers.

Perfect, this works. Thanks so much, @dstine
