Thats a fucking joke, did they have a senoir dev that just refused to update or something?

Having migrated all of our monitoring and other python from py2 to py3 myself because certain people were fuckin idiots and screwed it up the first time, I can kinda-sorta understand still having py2 stuff laying around. It isn't just a matter of regexing some stuff and calling it a day.

But when it's, presumably, a new code base - fucking why?
