    How about doing this only for Python 3.x? We'd like to stick to our 
    resolution of deprecating 2.x, which means not introducing any new 
    dependencies or images that need it.

You're probably right. There's not much use in churning soon-to-be-deprecated Python 2.x. I will submit a new patchset for Python 3.x only. Python 2.x could be added later if deprecation wouldn't happen for some reason.

    
    Also, python-pgo-image commits should probably be all squashed into one 
    (with comments within files replacing the commit messages).
    
Point taken.


Thanks,
  Markus
