I would suggest the following:
* python2-2.7.z continues to provide all '2' symlinks.
* python38 be updated to 3.8.2, and 3.8 be designated the next default
'python3' version (with the '3' symlinks continued to be kept
separate), and adjust python-wheel.cygclass accordingly.
* Similarly, a separate package (in Fedora it's called 'python-
unversioned-command') provide unversioned symlinks, pointing to 2.7 for
now (for compatibility).
* Anything currently dependent on 'python' or 'python2' should either
be dropped if no longer needed, switched to 3 is possible, otherwise
rebuilt.
* Drop 2.7 from the "default" version set in python-wheel.cygclass, and
only build those modules that are actually needed by other things by
specifying "all".
* Once that's done, look at what's still depending on /usr/bin/python
('python-unversioned-command'), and based on that decide when that can
be changed to point to python3.

first steps done:
- updated 3.8 to 3.8.2
- updated 3.7 to 3.7.7
- updated also their python doc
- upload of all of them is in progress
next steps:
- I assume we can drop 3.5
- for the time being no need to update 2.7 and 3.6
(we are just one version behind)
- verify which python packages we need to build/rebuild
currently we have
119 *python27*
114 *python36*
115 *python37*
10 *python38*
and ~ 225 other *python* packages (plus 10 for python35)
- verify the fedora python-unversioned-command
