If somebody > wants one, I can ask upstream if it's supported for this library. I asked [0] and he does intend to continue supporting Python 2 in this and in python-click-log. However, the Python 2 variants require python2-setuptools. Since they can't be automatically translated, I believe that when trying to use them, we will hit the same issue as in #22013 [1]. Is that right? If there is no user of the Python 2 variants, I see no reason to include them until the problem in that bug is resolved, if it applies here.
