No, this is not possible, because we have no way in kconfig to say
which Python modules should be installed for python2, and which Python
modules should be installed for python3.

So while having both interpreters and the Python standard library
side-by-side would work, it doesn't work for all the external Python
modules we have.

I think that's the main problem. Staying on python2 only is really not
a wise choice.

Best regards,

Thomas
