​AFAIK we are using Python2.x because many enterprise linux distributions
do not have native support for Python3 in them (from their default repo)
for example CentOS6.x, many versions of Redhat linux etc, Admins have to
download and compile Python3.x manually which adds maintenance of
additional software on their servers (eg manual security updates etc), In
order to support them we are shipping pgAdmin4 with Python2.x, Otherwise
you are correct Python3 will resolve most of the Unicode related issues
which we are currently facing with pgAdmin4.
