OK - thanks for the feedback. I've read around on similar comments and I completely get that there is a groundswell against making web2py code require python 3 (essentially other frameworks should be used instead), but this would just be removing a barrier to getting it working with python 3 on Ubuntu 20.04 without requiring python 2 to run the setup script. I'll submit it.
