This package explicitly depends on `python2` which will be EOLed at the end of the year[1]. This package provides python bindings for `python2`, however the latest release (also used by other distros) is from 2011[2] and doesn't support v3. For instance, debian ships `vde2` without `python2` support since Debian Jessie[3]. KVM and QEMU appear to build fine, also NixOS tests and ISO builds are still functional. By running `nix-review` against this change, only `xen` packages failed, but those were already broken on master[4]. Finally it's also worth mentioning that the closure size of `vde2` drops from 99.5M to 33.5M without `python2` according to `nix path-info -S -h`.
