Let's be clear about the "culprit": Upstream decided to EOL Python 2 in January 2020. Fedora 31 (which ships Python 2) will be a supported Fedora release until ~ November 2020 so we have quite some time where Fedora's Python maintainers will try to secure Python 2 on their own. I don't think it is a valid option for Fedora to ship an EOL language for much longer. Also any upstream project which did not start the Python 3 transition over the last 3 years is essentially "dead upstream" which also leads to problems getting bug fixes. If you really need to run a Python 2 code base try packaging it for pypy. Due to pypy's internals it will support Python 2 basically "forever" (see pypy FAQ).
