Description of problem: Let's drop the python2 package. The only package that requires it is python-hardware, which appears to be abandoned. See bug#1711724.
Looks like we may need 0.25.0 to address this - https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/commit/90617c6c9fb476c8e7af9933531c59f9322d567c
You don't actually need Python 3 semantics (language level) in Cython sources to build with/for Python 3 only.
Hmm, all I know is that when I removed the python2 build pandas fails to build.
May I have a look?
