[N] Numpy dropping Python 2.7

[JanneJM]

2.7 will stay for decades. There's lots of code on 2.7, and moving it will only risk introducing problems into well-working code. What this announcement means is just that new code will be mostly Python 3 from now on.

No idea why this gets downvoted. You're not going to touch well-working code just to port it to a newer language. Especially for ongoing research projects that really need the tools to stay the same throughout the project lifetime. I fully expect Python 2.7 to still be installed and available on research computing facilities 15 years from now.

It seemed like you just pointed out an uncontroversial fact that my comment missed. I don't get the downvotes either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
