If you have some more important reason than “I don’t want to have Python 3 on my system” we can certainly add alternatives for the particular packages, but I don’t think I would like to add foo-2 and foo-3 versions to all python packages in the repository.
I believe there might be a misunderstanding, and I think Tom wasn't actually that difficult to understand. The discussion is about getting rid of singlespec because (as you rightly pointed out that python 2.x is nearing EOL). This was countered with the point that you want to have singlspec so that pypy works, and this raised the eyebrows because the current singlespec approach won't work for pypy. And there were a lot of reasons given why it wouldn't be relevant to have working packages and that there are obscure workarounds (which require a ton of patching in other code that needs to be using the obscure workarounds instead of just using the bindir binary as it exists properly packaged on every sane distribution (opensuse excluded) on the whole planet. Neither Tom nor I want python 2.x only stack. we want a python 3.x only stack without the insane baggage that singlespec carries behind it (where everything needs to be enabled for all enabled python interpreters).
