TwoDict is can be used with either python 2 or 3.

I packaged twodict both as python-twodict and python2-twodict. Thought I 
only wanted the latter, I did the former to make it available in guix.

Ah I see. I didn't know that.

I first thought the same, but it seems the app is feature complete and 
no additional changes.

That said, considering deprecation of python2 by python upstream, this 
package should have been ported to python3.

Yeah, since python2 is deprecated. We could deprecate youtube-dl-gui. 
Should we do this is as a batch, removing all python2 packages?
