It means patches and PRs submitted after that date will almost certainly be dropped on the floor (and definitely will be after Benjamin tags the last release), any issues pending on that date will be summarily closed, any Python 2 targets on the tracker will be removed, any issues submitted regarding Python 2 anyway will be triaged WONTFIXBECAUSEEOL, and people on python-dev and python-ideas will tell you to go to python-list because Python 2 is off-topic period. Oh yeah, and any of the actions mentioned above might take a while because Python 2 isn't, you know, "supported". One thing that should be made clear is that "support stops" refers to resources under the PSF rubric. I'm sure there are plenty of people who will support Python 2 for some wage less than $1,000,000/hr. > Generally, when people ask questions like this, I struggle, Yup. But I think the above is a good first cut. P.S. "Us" in the subject means "those good folks who take responsibility in one way or another for the maintenance and improvement of Python under the auspices of the PSF." _______________________________________________ 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/4JWGRWUK5IMAXT3UKOB4TD23A2A7EPJI/
