typically, if a package is Python 2-only, without an upstream effort
to port it to Python 3 already complete, or almost complete,
this means it's a basically a dead project.

Several projects switched to Python 3 quite a while ago, e.g. ipython,
meaning that the Python 2 version has been
lagging behind Python 3 for long time already. (in case of ipython,
Python 2 support stopped at 6.0, and the current ipython,
Python 3 only, is 7.13)

That is, the best way it to check the upstream for updates.
