1716390 - Tooltool should use Python 3

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1809588

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Mitchell Hentges [:mhentges] 🦀]

As beautifully pointed out by :callek here, tooltool still uses Python 2 in some cases.

We should adjust these to use Python 3 as well.

Since tooltool.py already supports Python 3, this should just be a straight s/python2.7/python3.

I will note that tooltool.py is vendored code. So removing the PY2 code path means that we diverge from upstream. So another way to unblock bug 1714688 is to leave that file alone for now.

Just came here to comment the same about tooltool.py vendored code but Andrew is fast, I pushed to try a little ago, lets see how it goes https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=815c44877a029f2ad5c8c39b995404dfc5ba3b80 ;)

Another try with just py2 > py3 change https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=321b211d2419dc0d0e4bc6199c8f1c6ee6b39295&selectedTaskRun=JtFZHUcnSiiEj_lM1QGWBw.0

Just noticed that python/mozbuild/mozbuild/action/tooltool.py in tree still has a python bangline... on OS X 12 monterey python(2) isn't installed any longer. Changing it to python3 worked for me.
