These 4 files are the only reason for python2.7 on my system and I do not see why it's actually needed any more.
What Linux distro are you running that Python 2.7 isn't the system Python?
Python 2.7 was declared dead by python.org more than a year ago now:
https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/
Any up-to-date Linux distro should have Python 3 as primary.
Exactctly.
I did some more research: replacing python-all with a dummy package and then purging all python2-stuff does exactly no harm at all to TDE 14.1. I created the dummy package with equivs and this config file:
Section: misc Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.9.2 Package: python-all Version: 2.7.18-2 Provides: python-all:any (= 2.7.18-2) Description: dummy for python-all aka python2.7
Could somebody with more insight please check this?

(It was a big deal on Gentoo because Gentoo's primary package manager is written in Python. The transition produced enough developer drama for a soap opera.)
