I agree we don't need to support python 2. But then, if the script(s) are not compatible with Python 2, shouldn't we explicitly request Python 3 in the shebang? That way it will work even on a less up-to-date system that has both Python 2 and 3, but has 2 as the default...
yes, you are right. I made the corresponding change in edb57bc6e15358d5e60d694a899002cba9f8acd0.

I don't know if it's possible to make it work both with Python 2 and Python 3. All our python scripts run system default Python (whether it is 2 or 3). Anybody knows what is the right approach to solving this? Somehow make the script work with both versions (how?). Request Python 2 explicitly? Change it to work with Python 3 and request Python3 explicitly? Any suggestions from somebody more knowledgeable in our Python scripts? there were more issues than _thread. Python 3 also does not support has_key(). I fixed both of these in commit 663f445f6ae6d51eff8cb7bcc345d4a411d3ff7e. I think we should simply switch to Python 3 and ditch Python 2 wherever some issues pop up.
