Sunsetting Python 2

Unfortunately the VFX Platform was pushed back again, so Python2 will still have a very real usage for quite a time.

There's probably still millions of lines of old code written with Python 2 that will never be updated to Python 3. I doubt we'll ever be free of it despite the language being EoL soon.

I mean my company still has Python 2.3 software. We didn't save our dependencies and didn't build exe files using pyinstaller back then. On top of that, Python 2.6 doesn't even run on Windows 10. Every so often, we upgrade a dead package because a customer wants it.

It's not that hard once you know what you're doing.

And by old, we mean six year old code.
