This has come up in discussion a few times, and is now well overdue, I think.
Python 2.7 is the last python2 version, which was sunsetted on January 1, 2020.

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.

The author remains the same but version numbering staggers around then jumps to
0.5 and is now up to 0.8.1.
The manual was a POD file from Jaari run thru pod2man for 0.11 from 2010, but
very outdated now, not to mention using Perl docs for Python modules, so I'm
rewriting from help2man output to be current, comprehensive, and functional with
`groff -man`.
