nagios-plugins-contrib is virtually the only rdep for python-pymongo,
and it looks like the code from the last update already supports
python3: could you change check_mongodb/check_mongodb.py shebang to
point to py3k and update the recommends to python3-pymongo? this way
we could drop the py2 support from src:pymongo. there's a percona
mongo check too, but tbh it hasnt been updated in 5 years upstream,
and python-pymongo is only a suggests there, so maybe we can ignore
it?

other checks depending on python2:

* check_graphite/check_graphite.py
  - very old check (upstream last change 8years ago)
  - does it even work anymore?
  - seems trivial to port to python3, a quick `2to3` reveals just some
very basic changes
* check_libs_ng/check_libs_ng
  - this looks almost ready to get its shebang switched to py3k, small
`2to3` fix to apply
* percona-nagios-plugins/nagios/bin/pmp-check-aws-rds.py
  - really old script, should be verified if it still works properly
  - `2to3` suggests really basic changes, maybe let's apply them?

please let me know what you think about this, definitely prioritizing
dropping python-pymongo would help a lot; i can help
preparing/committing the changes, but i wont be able to test them out
myself in real-world examples.
