Is Python3 now supported in GPDB to where this can be supported in MADlib?

> *How long is it till the sunset date?*
> The sunset date has now passed; it was January 1st, 2020.
> *What happens now?*
> As of January 1st, 2020 no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to Python 2, and Python 2 is no longer supported.
> A few changes were made between when we released Python 2.7.17 (on October 19th, 2019) and January 1st. As a service to the community, we bundled those fixes (and only those fixes) and [released a 2.7.18|https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-announce-list@python.org/thread/OFCIETIXLX34X7FVK5B5WPZH22HXV342/]. We did that in April 2020, because that was convenient for the release managers, not because it implied anything about when support ended. For more technical details, please see [this explanation|http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_answers.html#when-is-the-last-release-of-python-2-7-coming-out].
