python-amqp is used by python-oslo.messaging, which is one of the key
components of OpenStack. OpenStack eventually will drop Python 2
support, though this may happen over the next 6 to 12 months only.
Mostly everything is ready, though some components are still not fully
Py3 compatible.

So yeah, in this case, it is a little bit too soon to drop Python 2.
Hopefully, we will be able to do that before Buster.
