Also, it brings up a question I had.   What python versions are expected to be supported with PYTHON=python2?

https://python-future.org/imports.html   So importing from future (for end='' support) implies >= 2.6.   

The base release of 2.6 was October 2008 so maybe this is fine.  Otherwise it may be preferable to use sys.stdout.write which has more consistent semantics (see
tools/perf/scripts/python/compaction-times.py)
