Drop python2 support #245

Closed danigm closed 1 year ago

danigm commented 1 year ago

Python 2 went EOL on 1/1/2020 and we receive no more support from the Python Core Team after Python 2.7.18 even for known security issues.

You can see our discussion on this when it came up before in #170, but here are the bullet points

We dropped 2.6 about 1.5 years ago because usage was very low and it was a burden to maintain and test. I expect 3.4 will be next since there were only 1.6k downloads in the last 6 months and we're only testing it in CI with the OS image pinned to an old version. 3.5 probably isn't far behind because downloads were only 25k and it's slowly disappearing from repos. 3.6 will likely be around for a long time because a lot of software standardized on it.
