ansible-core 2.17 removing target support for Python 2.7 and 3.6 #54

Closed sivel closed 11 months ago

sivel commented 1 year ago

Yes, you read that right! ansible-core 2.17 will remove python 2 support completely, and finally! In addition to removing Python 2.7 support, we will also be removing target support for Python 3.6.

The plan is to remove support for these versions during the week of October 1, 2023 in devel. This will happen very early in the 2.17 development cycle to enable merging new functionality that depends on the removal of Python 2.7.

For more information about controller and target python support in ansible-core, please see the section starting at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_maintenance.html#ansible-core-control-node-python-support

In case someone wants to discuss this, I've created a discussion (#55) so that the issue won't get spammed. I'm now locking this (as usual).

This has now been implemented, see #60.
