The containers typically install the python components they need using wheels If the flock components are updated in their setup.cfg to be built universal wheels (which are py2 and py3 compatible) then the wheels being generated from the spec should be able to be included. That can be done in master, assuming the code runs in both py2 and py3 without needing major changes.

Hello All, We are working on FM containerization (FM panel in open stack dashboard and backend pod service(fault)). As part of this activity, we are doing stx-horizon docker build. Which will include components from flock (for fm calls). As a reference example, please refer to this patch<https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/upstream/+/661423/4/openstack/python-horizon/centos/stx-horizon.stable_docker_image>. The front panel would be calling flock components fmclient, cgtsclient, distributedcloud etc. These components are python2 build. For FM panel to work we need migration of these components (seeing lot of dependency issues) from python2 to python3 on master branch. Yesterday(9-Dec-2020) in non-openstack distro meeting, the discussion was flock python2 dependent components cannot be migrated in master branch and will done in centos8 migration branch/stream. So, I request for clarity/decision from community on this blocker for FM containerization. Earlier in stx-3.0(stein’s openstack) as in above link, these component were part of stx-horizon docker build. But these were removed(as per patch below) as part of stx-4.0 migration (stein -->train --> Ussuri), as latest openstack only supports python3.
