I expect that for gimp 3.x, the python code will be (or was already) ported to
python 3.x - but I don't expect it will require or justify a full rewrite of
gimp given these links:

* https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/

* https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/23/rub-a-dub-dub/

Perhaps there will still be compatibility with python 2.7 being able to run the
same code, but I don't recommend you to count on that.
