Dropping python 2 support? #86

Closed zachary822 closed 5 years ago

zachary822 commented 5 years ago

Some libraries this module depends on, like networkx are no longer supporting python 2. Maybe we should consider dropping python 2 support as well?

Python 2 reaches EOL on 2020-01-01.

Here's the pip installs for py2cytoscape from PyPI for March 2019, showing low numbers for Python 2.7:

category percent downloads

3.7 16.34% 109
2.7 4.35% 29

Remember to update setup.py:

https://github.com/cytoscape/py2cytoscape/blob/cc326dcd3909ee203b44bed07d63e293f5456d5b/setup.py#L54

Adding python_requires='>=3.4', can help pip install the correct version too.
