Your nuclear power station is going to explode? Update the software to Python 3 instead of spending time working around the limitations of Python 2.
Exactly. After reading some of the "waaah, no DeDRM" posts I felt poor Mr Goyal was in a "demned if he did, demned if he didn't" fix - howls of complaints NOW from users of broken pluigins, or howls of complaints LATER when 2's EOL caught up with every user.
