> However the idea for Inkscape (at least the "LTS" branch 0.92.x) is to support both, python2 and python3,
I'm wondering if this might be a mistake. After all, Python 2 will be unsupported by upstream in a few months time. Not even security bugs will be fixed, so using it is dangerous from then on. By providing support for Python 2, you're basically asserting to the Inkscape user that everything is fine and she can keep going, but that isn't the case. Everybody should feel a great deal of pressure for upgrading now! That's why many projects have pledged to remove Python 2 support before the end of the year [1]. I maintain a bunch of more or less popular Python projects, and have purposefully removed Python 2 support from all of them. That itches some users but, again, I think this is a good thing. The more people a pressured into upgrading, the better.
