ya, there are examples already for libs that have dropped py2 support.
What you need to do is update global requirements to be something like
the following.
sphinx!=1.6.6,!=1.6.7,<2.0.0;python_version=='2.7' # BSD
sphinx!=1.6.6,!=1.6.7,!=2.1.0;python_version>='3.4' # BSD
or
keyring<19.0.0;python_version=='2.7' # MIT/PSF
keyring;python_version>='3.4' # MIT/PSF
