1 Well yeah, after a *lot* of news items to that effect, and of course the
2 fact it's been deprecated for years anyway, it's gone. If you need the
3 interpreter only for some scripts just select it in your world file, it'll
4 be around a wee while longer, but the entire ecosystem is kaput, dead,
5 gone, not coming back, so if your scripts are using any py2.7 libraries
6 you're probably hot out of luck. Just the interpreter will be around a
7 little bit longer because there's a few packages that for annoying reasons
8 still need it just as a build dependency. Notably chromium
