 that one.

 Maybe our documentation isn't clear?

 > I could close the pull request and make the change again on top of the
 master or another desired branch.

 That would be great!

 > I checked some of the scripts and changed "python" to "python2" wherever
 the syntax wouldn't allow using Python 3.

 We'd like to transition to Python 3, since python 2 is not supported. So
 let's leave those scripts with "python" and fix the Python 3 errors?

 There's similar work going on in #33193, you might want to check out the
 latest PR there?

 > I also imported print_function from {{{__future__}}} in some cases.

 I think we already added all the Python 2.7 to Python 3 future statements
 in master in #32732.
