I asked in the RIOT Maintainer Matrix channel and @OlegHahm, the last person who modified the Installing Python 2 seems to be possible at least on Arch Linux through an AUR package. Therefore this is up for discussion. |

Contribution description
The desvirt integration does not work and does not appear to have been changed or maintained since it was added in 2016.
Well, in theory it might still work, but it is based on Python 2 and the support for that has ended uuuuuuuuh 2020.
I think the last Ubuntu that even shipped Python 2 was Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and the support for that ends in April 2029.
The Python 2 support was dropped from the build docker container in RIOT-OS/riotdocker#281 because 26.04 LTS does not provide an installation candidate for it.
