Happy new year! I think it would be cool to hear from matplotlib what their experience was. I'm not sure I'm for dropping 2.6 for the sake of dropping 2.6. What would we actually gain? There are two fixes in sklearn/utils/fixes.py that we could remove, I think.
Also: what does dropping 2.6 mean? Writing in the docs that we don't support it any more? Shutting down the continuous integration? Removing the fixes? If we remove the fixes, we force users to upgrade, with little benefit to us, right? Cheers, Andy ps: I'm not against dropping 2.6, I just want a discussion ;) On 01/04/2016 08:28 AM, Gael Varoquaux wrote: > Happy new year everybody, > > As a new year resolution, I suggest that we drop Python 2.6 > compatibility. > > For an argumentation in this favor, see > http://www.snarky.ca/stop-using-python-2-6 (I don't buy everything there, > but the core idea is there). > > For us, this will mean more usage of context managers, which is good. > > The down side is that many clusters run RedHat variant that are still > under 2.6 (Duh!).
