Health warning. Python2 is now well past its end-of-life. No support,
not even security updates. It's urgent for X728 to migrate to Python3.
unless you use a linux distribution which maintains its packages for a
long time ( like 10 years ) in which case at least backports are used to
close any security holes that are discovered and relevant.
When the Raspberry Pi was announced in 2012, Python3 had already been available
for 6 years. When the X728 was announced (april 2020 ?), Python3 had been
around for 14 years, and Python2 was already dead.
There _are_ major projects which still run on Python2 and which havn't yet
migrated, e.g. Mailman 2.1.23 which is used for this mailing list.
