Drop support for EOL Pythons #281
Conversation

Well, I think that it would be nice to support py27 in a branch like we do with 26, and then drop support in master. We can have maintainers for these branches. WDYT? |
Works for me. Could someone with permission create a new branch? |
|
If we're going the way of removing Python 2 support are we planning a major release to signal this? Then the branch name could be |
This all makes sense to me and is a good idea. |

@jdufresne This PR might be hanging out for a while, perhaps we should open an issue so we can discuss what needs to happen outside of code changes to safely drop Python 2? After we get all that out of the way we can then merge this, but it might get out of date in the meantime. |
Good idea. I opened issue #291. Please feel free to add to the checklist if you see other necessary steps. |
Python 2.7 and 3.4, and 3.5 are end of life. They are no longer receiving bug fixes, including for security issues. For additional details on support Python versions, see: Supported: https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches EOL: https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches Removing support for EOL Pythons will reduce testing and maintenance resources while allowing the library to move towards a modern Python 3 style.
Drop 3.4 & 3.5 support. Add python_requires.
