Dear,

The end-of-life of Python 2 is coming...

https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

Projects pledge to drop their support of Python 2.

https://python3statement.org/


What do you do?
Do we deprecate the python2 packages? If yes, what would be the
schedule? If no, do we move all the python2 packages to a
python2-xyz.scm file?
Do we do nothing? Based on what rationale?


Thanks in advance for any comments, thoughts, etc. :-)


All the best,
simon
