I'm still slightly wary of dropping Python 2 support from lazr.* packages that are part of launchpadlib's dependency tree, since old Ubuntu series are still supported and contain Python 2 versions of those packages. (Not saying we necessarily have to wait for those old series to go out of support, just that it seems a less obvious decision.)
However, for packages that are in practice only used on the server side, specifically as part of Launchpad itself, there doesn't seem much point retaining Python 2 support now that Launchpad itself is on Python 3. I therefore propose that we drop Python 2 support from the following packages: lazr.batchnavigator lazr.config lazr.delegates lazr.enum lazr.jobrunner lazr.lifecycle lazr.restful lazr.sshserver Some of these are used by other packages outside the Launchpad ecosystem; for instance, lazr.config and lazr.delegates are used by Mailman. I've checked all the reverse library dependencies that show up on libraries.io for each of these packages (e.g. https://libraries.io/pypi/lazr.config/dependents) and they all have Python 3 support, so this doesn't seem too unreasonable, but we should bump the major version number anyway to be safe. In most cases this will mainly involve using "pyupgrade --py3-plus" or similar to remove Python 2 compatibility code; at least lazr.delegates has some significant extra complexity on top of the usual sort of thing that can be stripped out once Python 2 support is no longer required.
