I read some discussion about this on a Github PR.

Other scripts that were ported to python3 had issues with python3 later 
and had to be fixed.

They decided that switching all python scripts to python3 in 19.07 
release was too risky,

especially because it is late already so they are just making sure they 
are run with python2.

Scripts in master are migrated to python3 and will have a lot of time to 
find bugs and be fixed before

next stable release.
