The biggest blockers are mipp & python-mpop which are python2-only
currently.
I've pushed a change to use python3 for mipp, but that's incomplete. A
bunch of test fail due to UTF8 being the default in Python 3. That's
not really something I want dive into further.
How important are these two packages?
Removing them from testing may be an option to unblock their
dependencies. They keep python-pyresample in the archive for example,
which in turn requires python-pyproj, and its upstream is going to drop
Python 2 support.
