The upstream developer has communicated that they intend to officially
stop supporting Python 2 [0] in the software that uses this library. And
I think have already stopped supporting it unofficially [1].

So based on [0] I didn't include a python-2 package variant. If somebody
wants one, I can ask upstream if it's supported for this library.
