Hi everyone, Please vote whether to make Apache Beam 2.24.0 the final release supporting Python 2 as follows.
[ ] +1: Remove Python 2 support in Apache Beam 2.25.0. [ ] -1: Continue to support Python 2 in Apache Beam, and reconsider at a later date. The Beam community has pledged to sunset Python 2 support at some point in 2020[1,2]. A recent discussion[3] on dev@ proposes to outline a specific version after which Beam developers no longer have to maintain Py2 support, which is a motivation for this vote. If this vote is approved we will announce Apache Beam 2.24.0 as our final release to support Python 2 and discontinue Python 2 support starting from 2.25.0 (inclusive). This is a procedural vote [4] that will follow the majority approval rules and will be open for at least 72 hours.
