This has come up in discussion a few times, and is now well overdue,

Python 2.7 is the last python2 version, which was sunsetted on

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.
So here's the list, with *tentative* notes of the disposition for each
package.
Here's an updated list of the remaining packages, after removals,
rebuilds and/or updates:
