Generally, when people ask questions like this, I struggle, because it's not altogether clear to me what they think they mean in the first place by the "support" that is getting dropped. Python is entirely volunteer supported, and no-one has any sort of formal agreement here, so what exactly is stopping on such a precise date? Personally, I will take 1 Jan 2020 as being the date on which I can stop feeling guilty about not caring about Python 2, and the date from which, if I merge a change to Python, I don't have to ask anyone "should this be backported to 2.7" but can just ignore the possibility. I doubt that clarifies anything for anyone, though :-) Paul _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/3WW3JUTDZ6JVAKJPIDIJ4UBNKL2PD3DT/
