writers.writePython2: remove

nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2205.section.md

···
 - `pkgs.claws-mail-gtk2`, representing Claws Mail's older release version three, was removed in order to get rid of Python 2.
   Please switch to `claws-mail`, which is Claws Mail's latest release based on GTK+3 and Python 3.
 
+- The `writers.writePython2` and corrersponding `writers.writePython2Bin` convenience functions to create executable Python 2 scripts in the store were removed in preparation of removal of the Python 2 interpreter.
+
 ## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-22.05-notable-changes}
 
 - The option [services.redis.servers](#opt-services.redis.servers) was added
