To DJ - thanks for confirming. The problem is always finding where
it got called explicitly. Maybe I'll take another look to see if I
can find remaining python2 references.

I think that is the minimum. The items below are possibles.

Indeed. The "patch" I found was 9800 lines. I haven't counted how
many lines are in my first attempt to update it. I have a severe
dislike of python, as is probably already apparent (the whitespace
issue) and I mostly find the error messages unuseful - if it fails
to find a specific thing, I would hope to get a more-specific
message.

We've all got both light and dark inside of us.
What matters is the part we choose to act on.
