End of life for Python 2 and Emacs

End of life for Python 2 and Emacs

[Stefan Kangas]

From the Debian 10 Release Notes[1]:

    "Python 2 will stop being supported by its upstream on January 1,
    2020. Debian hopes to drop python-2.7 for Debian 11. If users have
    functionality that relies on python, they should prepare to migrate to
    python3."

Does Emacs have any plans to deprecate Python 2 support?  I'm not suggesting
anything in particular here, I'm just asking since I couldn't find it in the
mailing list archives.

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas

I don't think Emacs has anything python-version-specific.
IOW, Emacs does not rely on any Python 2 features that are not present
identically in Python 3.
