I've been giving this a bit more thought and its our intent to try and
remove python2 from OE-Core entirely so adding py2 modules back seems
like a backwards step.

I think this will therefore need to go to one of the other layers,
painful as that might be from an include perspective.

Upstream are only going to keep py2 compatibility to the end of the
year, if that so the recipes will have to fork sooner or later anyway.

Cheers,
