Hi, I looked at the "Status of Python branches" to check if it was up to date. It's the case, thanks :-) But it recalled me that no exact date was decided for the official end of line of the the Python 2 branch (2.7 EOL).
https://docs.python.org/devguide/#status-of-python-branches says January 1st, 2020 https://pythonclock.org/ picked April 12th, 2020 (Pycon US) "Python 2.7 will not be maintained past 2020. No official date has been given, so this clock counts down until April 12th, 2020, which will be roughly the time of the 2020 PyCon. I am hereby suggesting we make PyCon 2020 the official end-of-life date, and we throw a massive party to celebrate all that Python 2 has done for us. (If this sounds interesting to you, email pythonclock...@gmail.com)." Can we pick an official date? By the way, maybe we can also start to list vendors (Linux vendors?) who plan to offer commercial extended support? For example, you can expect longer support than 2020 from RHEL: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata Ubuntu 12.04 reached its end of life after 5 years, but it seems like Canonical also starts to offer extended support to customers: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/ubuntu-12-04-esm-support You can expect longer Python 2 support indirectely ;-) Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
