- Why I did it
We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
This PR will need to update the following submodules once these PRs are merged:
