I think the next step is to remove the python27 package itself.
This will make it impossible to install anything which requires it
on new installations (existing installations which already have the
package installed will be uneffected).
Once the wailing, rending of garments and gnashing of teeth has died
down, I can remove the python2 modules and bindings at leisure.
I've finally got around to vaulting all the remaining python2 modules
and bindings.
Looking at the remaining python(|2)-* packages:
python-cairo-devel Python bindings to libcairo
python-dbus-devel Python D-Bus bindings
python-gdal Geospatial Data Abstraction Library - (Python)
python-gi-common Python GObject Introspection bindings
python-gi-devel Python GObject Introspection bindings
python-gobject-common Python GLib/GObject/GIO bindings
python-gobject-devel Python GLib/GObject/GIO bindings
python-gobject-doc Python GLib/GObject/GIO bindings
python-gtk2.0-demo Python bindings for GTK+2 and libglade (demo
application)
python-gtk2.0-devel Python bindings for GTK+2 and libglade (development
files)
python-gtk2.0-doc Python bindings for GTK+2 and libglade
python-netsnmp Net-SNMP (python)
python-orbit-devel Python bindings for ORBit-2
python-pip-wheel Python package installation tool
python-pyatspi-common Python AT-SPI/D-Bus bindings
python-pykde4-common Python KDE4 bindings
python-pykde4-devel Python KDE4 bindings
python-pyqt4-common Python Qt4 bindings
python-pyqt4-devel Python Qt4 bindings
python-pyqt5-common Python Qt5 bindings
python-pyqt5-qt3d-common Python Qt3D bindings
python-pyqt5-qt3d-devel Python Qt3D bindings
python-pyqt5-qtchart-common Python QtCharts bindings
python-pyqt5-qtchart-devel Python QtCharts bindings
python-pyqt5-qtdatavisualization-common Python QtDataVisualization bindings
python-pyqt5-qtdatavisualization-devel Python QtDataVisualization bindings
python-setuptools-wheel Python package management tool
python-webkit-devel Python WebKit/GTK+ bindings
python-wheel-wheel Python package format module
python-wx-devel wxWidgets C++ application framework (Python bindings)
python2-xapian-doc Python bindings for the Xapian search engine library
I'll have to look these over in more detail, but most of the python-*-
{common,devel,wheel) seem reasonable to allow to continue to exist.
python2-xapian-doc can obviously also be removed.
python-wx-devel is the last remnant of python2 bindings for wx (the
python3 binding comes from a different, irregularly named source package
python3-wx), so can also be removed.
python-{gdal,netsnmp} are irregularly named, and should be obsoleted and
renamed as python3-foo and/or python3X-foo when they next get rebuilt.
There's still some packages which depend on python2 and python2 modules
remaining, which haven't been rebuilt yet, which are probably all
candidates for removal if not adopted. I'll produce a list before that
happens, though.
On to python3.5 (EOL Sep 2020) next, I suppose...
