Python 2 EOL is only a few days away[*].  We made configure bitch about
it in commit e5abf59eae "Deprecate Python 2 support", 2019-07-01.  Any
objections to retiring it now, i.e. in 5.0?

Cc'ing everyone who appears to be maintaining something that looks like
a Python script.

Thanks for the reminder!

I'll be honest: even if somebody in this list objects to dropping
Python 2 support, I'm not willing to be maintainer of a Python 2
codebase in 2020.  The only reason for not doing it in 4.1 was
the tests/vm/netbsd breakage we took very long to debug and fix.

I have just submitted this pull request:

I am pretty sure that I am not a python maintaainer at all.

But anyways, python3 is only at python3.7.
python3.0 debuted at 2008, so ...

Acked-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>

And anything else that you can think that endorses the change.

Later, Juan.

Fortunately Betteridge's law of headlines is not always true.  :)
