[Heads up] Moving to python-progressbar2

[Ankur Sinha]

Hello,

We're thinking of moving to python-progressbar2[1] in Fedora. It is a
better maintained, more featured implementation of the progressbar
module in Python. Since progressbar[2] and progressbar2 both provide the
same module, we can only include one. We're also dropping the py2 sub
package as is required in rawhide.

From what I can see, only 3 packages use it in Fedora:

- euca2ools
- python-libtaskotron
- python-bitmath

Their owners are cc'd. I've already filed bugs against all these and at
least the python-libtaskotron and python-bitmath maintainers are happy
to switch to progressbar2.

If there are any concerns, please do let us know.
