Paul,

Thanks for the response.  That's sort of what I expected.  I also used 
gtkpod more heavily some years ago, but was recently trying to recompile 
everything on my PC with gcc-10.  Hopefully someone who still uses it 
regularly will step up.  As the program still works, even this issue 
won't be critical for quite a while, depending on which Distro someone uses.

I don't know of any way to make gtkpod use python3, but it's easy  
enough to tell it not to use python at all, thus removing the  
dependency on python2.7.  I use Gentoo, so for me, it's just setting a  
USE flag, but I believe the parameter to ./configure is just  
"--without-python.  It still runs that way, but I can't test much since  
I don't currently have a suitable device to test with, so I really have  
no idea if this reduces functionality in any important way.

More important for me, is that gtkpod fails the final linking with  
gcc-10.  This is apparently a known issue due to the default change  
from fcommon to fno-common.

Given the lack of activity, I have to wonder whether to consider gtkpod  
totally dead, or is it still alive, albeit in near suspended animation?
