This was sent to the FTP Team, but it seems like someone with some bandwidth to assist from DPMT/PAPT would be a better audience. Note that the removal's already been done, but if someone wants to sponsor a python3 update to the package, they can ping me for a quick trip through New to bring it back.

I responded with the same message to the ticket about this (#936320). I'd be happy to help maintain it the package if necessary. Thanks.
