i've written repeatedly about this. the python software foundation is not only hopelessly naive in its abandonment of python2 users, it's bordering on negligence. some extremely large organisations (including Military ones) are literally trapped by maintenance agreements and massive software bases which could, even if they had the budget to do so, take over a decade to convert to python3, risking lives and entire financial systems in the process. although i do not expect the python software foundation to listen, i would not be overly concerned about python2 going EOL. aside from anything, there is always pypy. the team behind it have a lot more sense, and are continuing to provide major point-releases of their python 2.7 compatible JIT compiler. l. _______________________________________________ OfflineIMAP-project mailing list: [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/offlineimap-project OfflineIMAP homepages: - https://github.com/OfflineIMAP - http://offlineimap.org
