Removing Python 2 on Arch Linux
Cyrus Yip
Python 2 was dropped from Arch Linux. It was lucky that there were only two python2 packages on my Arch.

| ❯ pacman -Qs python2
local/python2 2.7.18-5
A high-level scripting language
local/python2-setuptools 2:44.1.1-2
Easily download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages

I removed them without hesitation.
