 (and when macOS moves to python3 as the default).

 (This is assuming that python3 is actually as ubiquitous by then as we
 need it to be.  If we need to build on older distributions that don't have
 it, we might need to keep python2 compatibility for some things for a
 while.  I hope that isn't the case, though.)
