If the latest version only supports Python 3.x, then only support this
version, and make it "depends on BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON3". Python 2.x is
now considered deprecated by the upstream Python developers. I don't
think Buildroot should bother with keeping old Python modules around
just for the sake of Python 2.x compatibility.
