As a side note, if I recall correctly Python 2.7 will be EOL'd in
2020 by community, though I suspect that a couple of vendors will
still maintain compatibility for a couple of years in what they ship.
CentOS and RHEL enter in this category perhaps. Like Peter, I would
vote for just maintaining support for Python 3 in this script, as any
modern development machines have it anyway, and not a lot of commits
involve it (I am counting 4 since 2015).
