Try deinstalling (dpkg --purge) it. This will tell what - if anything -
depends on it. This should enable you to assess whether you need/
actually use this anything. If nothing comes up, just deinstall
it. Should you in future want to use something which needs Python2,
it'll just be reinstalled automatically.
