Yeah, this request is too late when we almost done to drop the py2 except swift. You should have brought this during planning phase.
But close interaction with swift and the use case you described make sense too.

Before I check the possible options, I would like to know is there any OpenStack dependency (library or any other project) in Storlets for python2?

Few I can see in test requirements need few[1].
