I would suggest the following:
* python2-2.7.z continues to provide all '2' symlinks.
* python38 be updated to 3.8.2, and 3.8 be designated the next default
'python3' version (with the '3' symlinks continued to be kept
separate), and adjust python-wheel.cygclass accordingly.
* Similarly, a separate package (in Fedora it's called 'python-
unversioned-command') provide unversioned symlinks, pointing to 2.7 for
now (for compatibility).
I do not found a package called python-unversioned-command
on fedora
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/python-unversioned-command
page is empty
and google seems suggest only discussion on the matter
* Anything currently dependent on 'python' or 'python2' should either
be dropped if no longer needed, switched to 3 is possible, otherwise
rebuilt.
* Drop 2.7 from the "default" version set in python-wheel.cygclass, and
only build those modules that are actually needed by other things by
specifying "all".
* Once that's done, look at what's still depending on /usr/bin/python
('python-unversioned-command'), and based on that decide when that can
be changed to point to python3.

first steps done:
- updated 3.8 to 3.8.2
- updated 3.7 to 3.7.7
- updated also their python doc
- upload of all of them is in progress
next steps:
- I assume we can drop 3.5
- for the time being no need to update 2.7 and 3.6
(we are just one version behind)
- verify which python packages we need to build/rebuild
currently we have
119 *python27*
114 *python36*
115 *python37*
10 *python38*
and ~ 225 other *python* packages (plus 10 for python35)
- verify the fedora python-unversioned-command

what will be the drow back to use alternative to manage
/usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3 ?
we can put priorities for python as 2.7 3.8 3.7 3.6
and for python3 as 3.8 3.7 3.6
and rebuild python3 as empty package that pulls 3.6 (or 3.7 ?) now and
3.8 in future
