As the author of lsdrv, I can say that python3 is on my to-do list, via
the techniques ESR recommended for mutual compatibility. Pointless
syntax changes like this one for constants is discouraging.
FWIW, python 2.7 (the language) is far from dead, as jython has not yet
released a python 3 (the language) implementation. I use jython heavily
in my commercial work, on a platform that is very popular worldwide.
(Ignition by Inductive Automation, if anyone cares.)
The two primary drivers of the move to python3, namely, distinguishing
between character and bytes, and the introduction of async programming
to mitigate the GIL, are both non-issues in jython 2.7 thanks to the
java standard library.
I suspect python 2.7 (the language) will be alive and kicking for at
least another decade.

I said debian specific because it provide some debian stuff. Maybe
debian comes python 2.7 installed by default.
Tool itself havent got any update in 4 years. It really should be
converted to work with python3.
IIRC python devs have said that python 2.7 should not be used anymore
and that was already years ago.

Well, LAST I TRIED, it worked fine on gentoo, so it's certainly
not Debian-specific
i can't follow that logic
Gentoo is a rolling release. I strongly suspect that 2.7 is
deceased. It is no more. It has shuffled off this mortal coil
no matter what just because something woked fine on Gentoo don't rule
out a Debian specific problem and for sure not "certainly"
PLEASE FOLLOW THE THREAD.
The complaint was it was a Debian-specific PROGRAM - not problem.
