Drop support for Python 2? #420

Open dukecat0 opened 1 year ago

dukecat0 commented 1 year ago

Are there any plans for dropping Python 2 support?

Python 2 is EOL and dropping support for it would ease maintenance and reduce complexity.

👍

Python 2 has been EOL for over three years and has very few downloads by now:

This upcoming release v0.6.0 will be the last one where we claim support for Python 2.

Sorry maybe this is not the correct place to post, but just wanted to ask if fire supports python 3.10 and 3.11, from the readme seems like it supports only up to 3.9 (if I'm not mistaken) is that correct?

dbieber commented 6 months ago

Yes, Python Fire supports these newer versions of Python. We test through 3.12. v0.6.0 is out now. We're going to drop support for Python 2 moving forward.
