At least however I am now > running with -python_targets_python2_7 so there's that. Been running my server without python2 since… 2019-11-16 I thought it was more than that but still quite a lot considering that I kept clang-8 for a while before switching to clang-9 on it. (I use clang as main compiler, I'm also deprecating gcc so prefer to play it safe) I still have a bunch of stuff on my desktop&laptop requiring python2, like nodejs or renpy but it's getting quite better in the last months, one I'm trully fearing about how it will go is dev-util/scons, I guess a lot of patches will be required on the releases. I think this kind of discussion might be better on the forums or a user list btw.
