Thanks

Planemo in theory runs under Python 3 but Galaxy does not, so it is best to use a Python 2 with Planemo
for now.
Planemo runs on Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 or newer. Planemo can be used to run multiple versions of Galaxy,
but please note that the last Galaxy release that fully supports Python 2.7 is 19.09.

I don't think that's right, is it ? We stopped doing large parts of the CI on python 2 after the 19.09 release, and we wrote in the 20.01 release notes:

Deprecation Notice
With the release of Galaxy 20.01 we strongly encourage all deployers to run Galaxy under Python 3. For instructions on how to transition to Python 3 please see here.

Python 2.7 was still supported and partially tested for 20.01, and we didn't introduce any breaking change that I know of. My institute's production instance is 20.01 under py2.7 too.
