Python 2.7 is the last python2 version, which was sunsetted on January

3) There might also still be some other packages lurking which just
install a script with a shebang containing 'python', and assume that
python is python2. I don't know how we could identify those.
The remaining cases of packages which have a dependency on python and/or
python2 are either this (packages which contain a python script with a
python shebang line), or the other case which I hadn't previously
considered - a package which contain an executable or shared library
linked with libpython2.7.dll.
So, again I need inspect these to determine what should happen to them.
