The PyX project fails to install on Python 2:

pipx docs/console-scripts $ python2.7 -m pip install pyx                                                                                                                       
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

This issue could be avoided if the releases that require Python 3 support were re-released with 'python_requires' directives in the release (and those without were pulled).

I'd like to help with this issue and help downstream consumers avoid issues like these: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/1743#issuecomment-482987103
