Please don't remove Python2 material, but instead move it to a Python 2 section or add a note that a page refers to Python 2 rather than Python 3. Pointing users to the wiki info section to retrieve this information is *not* a good idea. Please also note that while maintenance of Python 2 by the core dev team will stop, there still is a large user base out there using it and this will continue for at least another decade given how much code has been written for Python 2, which will not be ported to Python 3. We don't want to lose the existing Python 2 knowledge kept in the wiki.
