I know the v3 syntax change is a real pain, but shouldn't we be able
to finally jetison Python 2 by now? After all, it's been 8 years
since Python 3 has been released and automated 2->3 code conversion
scripts exist.
Cheers and thanks in advance,

You can't easily switch to python3 by default just yet. Take a look at
arch, they've created a mess with their /usr/bin/python -> python3
change - lots of packages assume /usr/bin/python is python2, and they
can't be built with python3. Some of the big players are web browsers
(chromium, mozilla packages), llvm, mesa, and so on.
