I'm not sure what you mean if you say "all this". Currently I see just
one python script in texlive-sience

hille@sid:~ $ dpkg -L texlive-science|grep \.py$
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/sympytexpackage/sympytex.py

..and yes it depends on python-sympy. Nevertheless I think we can drop
the recommendation on python-sympy and the dep on python2: it will just
break /one/ script.

On github you'll notice that the script author already did some steps to
support python3, but I guess it is not completed yet.
