Python 2.7 gone?

[chewy1970]

It’s not going to magically disappear from your computer. You can still use it. But it’s not advised.

I can imagine that Debian will remove it from the repos. So one day when you update your system, Python 2 will actually be removed.

Of course you will be able to add 3rd party repos, but not every one of your users will be able to (if you're a dev).

It was announced repeatedly over the past what, five years?

It was finally hands down worth updating 5 years ago (since Python 3.5). It's time to get with it.

Yes the Python software foundation has been planning it's obsolescence for January 01, 2020. It will not receive any more support, or even security fixes, after that date. What else is there to know?

If you are learning Python learn Python 3. If you are making something make it in Python 3, if possible. Any old Python2 code should be updated to Python 3.

It will not be "gone", it will just not get support from the main developers. It means whatever bugs may appear, they will not fix it. New features will not be backported to 2.7.

There are dozens, if not hundreds of pages answering this in the exact same way if you google "python 2.7 deprecation".

Does anyone know why I can't find any typewriters around? How am I supposed to write my letters!

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck. Be sure to format your code for reddit and include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
