We don't claim the betas are py2 compatible. But yes, if we were to support both long-term (not that we are), one would want that to be the case. I'll once again ask if someone knows how I might (easily) make a py2 binary for Sage 9.0 using binary-pkg. I don't think I can necessarily use the configure command before running that since everything happens "inside" of binary-pkg.
