I tried to migrate the python3 scripts to python2 but I will stop. There is
too many impacts which will not be easily upstreamable (shutil.which must
replaced by shutilwhich backport, access to tuple attributes is allowed
only through integers, f.write takes only one argument, configparser has to
be replaced by ConfigParser which does not support reading configuration
from a string, ...)
