So future Frescobaldi 3.x version will require Python3.

Python scripts in the LilyPond package currently need Python2. On Linux 
Fedora I'm running it with Python 2.7. On my Windows machine I'm using the 
LilyPond version for Windows with bundled Python 2.4.

- Why isn't LilyPond bundled with at least Python 2.7? Are there any known
  issues with Python 2.7? It seems to work fine here on my Fedora box.

- If future versions of Frescobaldi will require Python3, wouldn't that be
  a good moment to port all python scripts in the LilyPond distribution
  also to Python3, or to make them compatible with both Python3 and
  Python2? Stepping up to Python 2.7 first would already make the gap
  smaller.

I know, the question is always: who will do the job ...
