Looks like you misunderstood what "Python 3 compatibility mode" |
| 16 |
means. See official explanation: |

While Ren'Py is not yet supported on Python 3, this release of |
| 25 |
Ren'Py includes several features to allow you to begin writing |
| 26 |
scripts that will work on both Python 2 and Python 3. |

Just to be sure I tried to build renpy-7.4.0 using python3: it |
| 30 |
fails because it still uses python2 code inside (but with import |
| 31 |
future, so it can support scripts in python 3). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Python3 support for the RenPy itself is expected in 8.0 version. |

1. pygame_sdl2 is ported to python3, so there is no need to remove |
| 44 |
it even if renpy will be temporarily gone. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
2. It should be possible to keep renpy and games as masked in the |
| 47 |
tree, but this will require users to setup some python2 env |
| 48 |
themselves. If this is an acceptable option, I can bump renpy to |
| 49 |
7.4.0 in the tree. |
