Linux Mint 20 is based on the new Ubuntu 20 and the release notes for 
Ubuntu 20 reads as follows:

" Python3 by default

In 20.04 LTS, the python included in the base system is Python 3.8. Python 
2.7 has been moved to universe and is not included by default in any new 
installs.

Remaining packages in Ubuntu which require Python 2.7 have been updated to 
use /usr/bin/python2 as their interpreter, and /usr/bin/python is not 
present by default on any new installs. On systems upgraded from previous 
releases, /usr/bin/python will continue to point to python2 for 
compatibility. Users who require /usr/bin/python for compatibility on 
newly-installed systems are encouraged to install 
the python-is-python3 package, for a /usr/bin/python pointing 
to python3 instead.

Due to this transition the legacy python and python-minimal packages might 
be removed during an upgrade, being replaced by 
the python2 and python2-minimal packages as dependencies of 
the python-is-python2 package."

My WeeWX installation on Mint 19.3 is still running on Python 2. I tried to 
get Python 3 to work but never did get it to work. I suppose the upgrade to 
Mint 20 will not remove Python 2 from my system. It would be interesting 
though to finally get Python3 to work and maybe Mint 20 will provide a 
better path to moving WeeWX to Python 3.

Well I suppose I could spin up a VM and test but just thought I'd ask if 
anyone had tried.
