1638986 - Convert 'mach talos-test' to run with Python 3

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: Talos, task, P3)

Description

[Kris Wright :KrisWright]

mach talos-test still runs with python 2 [1]. We want to convert all mach commands to python 3.

To do this, any dependencies of the command may need to be converted as well as the command itself.

FWIW, this is probably one of my top painpoints. homebrew has stopped shipping updated versions of python2, and the system python2 (which is used if you don't brew link python@2 to override python3) can no longer create virtualenvs on recent macOS because of copy permissions, cf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46781050/unable-to-setup-virtualenv-with-always-copy-flag-due-to-errno-1 . But linking in python2 in homebrew causes problems with other, python3-requiring, mach commands...
