[llvm-dev] [RFC] Python 2 / Python 3 status

[Robinson, Paul via llvm-dev]

I don’t know how Python-infested the build system is, but certainly the basic test suite (lit) is all Python.
Just to add to the notes about distros, on Windows it looks like Visual Studio 2017 comes with Python 3.6.

Sounds good to me. Keeping the window of time during which we support both Python 2 and 3 as small as possible would be nice.
