If you need help, create sub defects and we'll get people to work on them.

Not convinced that we're ready to build without Py2 on the host.  I have a branch disable hosttools for python2* but this doesn't detect recipes that end up calling /usr/bin/python directly.

Will do a container thing and test.

python-native fails to build without a python on the host.  It tries to use the host python3 but the script isn't py3-safe.  I believe patching python2 would be relatively simple.
