Replying to andrew_b:
Is python3 required?
Yes, python3 is required. Does MC have restrictions with that?

Replying to andrew_b:
extfs plugins written in python don't have explicit python version in shebang (#3936). Using pyhon3 explicitly can break the portability.
Do you suggest to use MC's shebang that was set by configure script? I don't think it's a good idea to use /usr/bin/python because it may point to python2 as well as to python3, meanwhile the usual shebang '#!/usr/bin/env python3' is a system independent solution.
Some systems where mc is used may not have python3.
Yes, but these system may not have python2 or even bash, so...
Anyway, this plugin is not a mandatory component and it doesn't brake general MC functionality.
