I'm a bit late to this conversation but is the intention to completly get rid of python 2? I work with Python as my main language and while we work mostly with Python 3 there all still some occassions where we need a working verison of python 2.

Mike, The openSUSE team is giving us 2 years notice that they will be strongly considering removing python 2 as of the end of 2019. You likely need to identify where python 2 is still important and start notifying stakeholders / managers that 2 years from now python 2 support will start disappearing. But its not just an openSUSE issue, it much bigger than that. I assume you know one of the traditional ways to keep legacy code running is to put it inside a VM and secure the VM with tight firewalls. So it Leap 42.3 for instance were the last python 2 supporting version of openSUSE, you just keep a Leap 42.3 VM going as long as you need python 2. FYI: I know I have some python 2 stuff I maintain still, but its not even the direct upstream. Its dependencies they call that haven't yet added python 3 support.
