I think there's some confusion around the EOL of Python 2.7 and attendant 
cleanups that are worth point out on this list, also to avoid surprises or 
crossed-purposes like this.

There's a Phab task, D28665: Mark ports recursively depending on Python 2.7 
for expiration on June 23. That's being aggressively dealt with (by updating 
dependencies, etc. WebEngine is trying to avoid doing bundling a Python 2.7 as 
part of its build; that would be (a) shit (b) really shit (c) a reminder that 
Google is shit at building actual Open Source products.

Anyway, tauthon *is* (2*pi)thon (and the circumference of a circle is tau * 
radius) so it's probably worth a reminder from tauthon folks *on this list* 
why tauthon exists, what it's for, etc, to avoid .. well, to avoid things like 
tauthon being marked as expired due to containing Python 2.7 code.
