Dear IoT-LAB users,

As you may already know, official Python 2 support was stopped at the beginning 
of 2020 [1]. Most of the IoT-LAB tools (cli-tools, ssh-cli-tools, etc) are 
written in Python and support both Python 2 and 3 versions. But for 
compatibility and maintenance reasons, it's not possible anymore for us to 
continue supporting and installing the Python 2 version on the SSH frontends 
and embedded Linux images.
So we started to work on removing Python 2 support from all our tools and to 
migrate the SSH frontends and embedded Linux images. This means that our tools 
installed on the SSH frontends and the Python packages preinstalled on the 
embedded Linux images will only be for Python 3. If you still have personal 
tools for IoT-LAB that are only compatible with Python 2, we strongly encourage 
you to upgrade them to Python 3.

**This migration is planned for mid-january 2020**

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on [email protected].

Best regards,
