Python3 port?

[suy]

Hello.

Today I've noticed that python no longer exists in my PATH, and that only python2 and python3 are present in /usr/bin, so iesh wasn't working. I had no trouble making a quick link and make it work, but I think it's likely that in the future, having a Python 2 package readily available is gonna be harder and rarer.

Is there any plan on doing the port? Has something been attempted?

I don't know much Python, but the porting page mentions two approaches, with one more conservative to keep 2+3 compatibility, and other more future proof and only Python 3 idioms. Which one should be preferred? Is there need to support Python 2?

Thank you.

There's no need for python2 support, it just has to get ported. 2to3 was not enough last I checked, but yeah, eventually it just has to be done.
