Following the instructions provided, running aptsources-cleanup on my system using sudo python -OEs aptsources-cleanup.zip produced the following error:

I’ll address the issue in a bit.

It shouldn’t occur with Python 3.4 or later when re.fullmatch() was added. So, if you have access to Python 3, which you do on all supported Ubuntu releases, please use it instead because that’s the main development target:

sudo python3 -OEs aptsources-cleanup.zip

Python 2 support is more of a crutch.

I just dropped support for Python 2 since all Apt distros still supported by their vendors should provide Python 3 anyway.
