Motivation for this change

Fix NixOS tests on staging, which broke after #63174 was merged.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

itstool: Don't use Python 3 (yet)
8b3885f 
Per http://itstool.org/download.html , itstool doesn't support python3
until version 2.0.3 (and perhaps doesn't support it correctly until
2.0.5).

This change allows NixOS tests to run again after NixOS#63174 broke
shared-mime-info.

@chkno See #63174 (comment), I believe there's some way we could use python3 for itstool as other distros have already achieved this.

If this goes forward, #72342 (itstool 2.0.2 -> 2.0.6) should not. I don't know which all-around best. My interest here is just to be able to run NixOS tests on staging.

@chkno The best choice is to be able to use python3 because that is what we're going for in 20.03.
I think going forward if we're going to try to switch things to python3 it's pretty easy to check on other distros to learn if they're carrying any patches and even read their threads. Because it's basically duplicated work, and most issues won't be nix specific.
