Fascinating. I always thought Python 2.7 support would end July 3, 2020 (exactly 5+5 years from when 2.7 was released), but for some reason they recently decided to go with Jan 1st. > Specifically, 2.7 will receive bugfix support until January 1, 2020. All 2.7 development work will cease in 2020. > I've updated the PEP to say 2.7 is completely dead on Jan 1 2020. The final release may not literally be on January 1st, but we certainly don't want to support 2.7 through all of 2020. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/#maintenance-releases https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/#maintenance-releas... https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-March/152355.html https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-March/1523...
