If former, please try latter and report. Thanks. You should not need to install anything on the host machine. If you do, that's a bug.

For adding a python2 host, you need python2 otopi/host-deploy packages on the engine machine. That's expected. If that's your only issue, and we want to "solve" it, we have two options. I personally do not have a strong preference: 1. Merely document this somewhere (in engine's README or whatever) 2. Make the engine require both python2-otopi and python3-otopi Latter option will very cleanly and easily solve your current problem, but will not be possible once we support the engine on an OS that has only python3 - perhaps fedora 31 or so, see e.g.: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal
