Hi, I was wondering if Django could or should nudge Python 2 users toward the latest stable release of 2.7.x? For example, we could require at least 2.7.8 by removing the fallback pbkdf2() implementation in django.utils.crypto [0]. I guess part of my feeling is that if you're running 1.11 LTS for at least another three years, you should really try to use the latest Python 2 as it has security improvements and fixes compared to the older 2.7.x releases.
As a data point, Ubuntu 14.04 ships with Python 2.7.6 and 16.04 ships with Python 2.7.12.
