Disclaimer: I’m not the maintainer so this is just the response of a random DD
hanging around.
Python 2 has been removed from Bullseye intentionally a couple of weeks/months
ago, and won’t be reintroduced as Python 2 maintenance has stopped upstream.
The ship for Python 3 has sailed long ago so if you need to depend on Python
2-only code you will need to stay on Buster. And looking forward you should
probably work with the upstream projects you depend on to ensure they have
Python 3 compatible versions available.
Happy hacking !
