*Source:
[https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/#:~:text=As%20of%20January%201st%2C%202020,%2C%202019)%20and%20January%201st.]*
*How long is it till the sunset date?*
The sunset date has now passed; it was January 1st, 2020.
*What happens now?*
As of January 1st, 2020 no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to
Python 2, and Python 2 is no longer supported.
A few changes were made between when we released Python 2.7.17 (on October
19th, 2019) and January 1st. As a service to the community, we bundled those
fixes (and only those fixes) and [released a
2.7.18|https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/OFCIETIXLX34X7FVK5B5WPZH22HXV342/].
We did that in April 2020, because that was convenient for the release
managers, not because it implied anything about when support ended. For more
technical details, please see [this
