The first step is still to get DNF “working” with RPM5 using python2: there are multiple ports involved.

If you expose you git repositories, I can try to help.

I have already forked all the relevant repositories and done some of the necessary porting
back in August:

Meanwhile, rpm-python3 is just a small piece of a much larger puzzle.

Until DNF is ported to use rpm5 (with test cases and coverage), rpm—python3 is
a NICETOHAVE answer in search of a question.

Functioning DNF with RPM5 is MUST’VE.
