Bazaar depends on python2, at least according to this person's suggestion:

> Bazaar doesn't support python3, it only supports python2.7. I'm guessing

(https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+question/691381)

I for one want to continue using Bazaar in Cygwin, so I'm grateful that
python2 is at least an option in Cygwin. Bazaar is free and open-source,
and I'm not a contributor, so I'm in no position to tell them to update
their software so that it depends on python3 only.
