I haven't removed python 2.7 because that would definitely cause you
more problems.

I'm trying to update packages to the latest versions. Many of these do
not support Python 2 any longer, and I have to mark other packages
that use them as not supporting Python 2 to not break bulk builds.  I
sometimes remove leaf packages if they are the only remaining users of
a Python 2 version of a package if they look dead upstream.

I remove Python2-only packages that were introduced for keeping
packages building in pkgsrc when there is no package in pkgsrc needing
them any longer.

I'm sorry, I can't guess what Python 2 modules are using in your local
installation. You can always add back py27-foo if you need it.
