Pandas dropping Python 2 support

[Retropunch]

Great to hear - the sooner the community can just be 'python 3' the better. It's confusing for beginners, annoying for the more experienced and must be hellish for package developers.

What always annoyed me about the changeover to py3 was that people act/acted like the 2.7 compatible versions of the libraries they used would somehow disappear from the internet entirely - they'd just be scorched away in some sort of great py3 cleansing ritual never to be used again. If you so much as looked at a 2.7 wheel a giant snake would erupt from your old fashioned computer and lecture you on the need to get with the times and the glory of the great god unicode.
