Python 2 was end-of-lifed on 1 Jan 2020.  It looks pretty dead from where I'm sitting,
but I'm aware that people who run RHEL have a different opynion.

The policy I havee for my projects these days is that I leave the poly
machinery in place untiil I want to do something Python 3 specific, then
I drop it.

I would be OK with your second alternative.
