Hi All,
2020 happened and Python 2 is very much still alive, even worse there will be an update in April.
However we should actively strive to get rid of Python 2 before it. Some upstreams are (still) working on porting to Python 3 such as Kodi, inkscape, mercurial and many more but for packages with dead upstreams and being unrequired I propose we remove them.
For packages still providing python2 functionality such as vim and others I propose we remove python2 support to actively to discourage people using it.
Texlive packages contain random Python scripts, a few of them might be ported to Python 3. As far as I know none of them is critical, I will simply remove the shebang rewriting in next packages and drop python2 from optdepends. I'll try to have a closer look to the ones accessible from PATH and actively remove them from /usr/bin if they are not ported. Rémy
