- kstrauser 10mo agoThere’s no “basically”. Stick a fork in it; it’s done: https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/ https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

- shakna 10mo agoIt might not be supported by the consortium, but python2 still lives, slowly, in one place or another: > The RHEL 8 AppStream Lifecycle Page puts the end date of RHEL 8's Python 2.7 package at June 2024. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4455511 https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4455511 At this point in RHEL it is only "deprecated", not "obsolete".
