I've seen at least one distro that had python 3 but python still went to
python 2. I assume they had a lot of code that still needed python 2.
For setups like that, we should be able tell our code to use python 3.
I have a couple boxes running old distros, partly for things like this.
They all have python 3. I may have hacked python to be python 3 rather
than python 2. But our code builds and works.
Another possibility would be to ship a release that still supports 2.6,
but with a big warning. Then we can ship another release quickly after
that which drops support for python 2.
