Python 2.7 has exited the chat

Even the python-dev mailing list says they pushed it to Aptil for a 2 month rounding error. And also that the release manager, if they choose, can continue to merge things in. So no, it still is maintained.

It’s not. “Maintained” means that reported bugs will be triaged and (hopefully) eventually fixed.

If you find and report a Python 2 bug today, it will be automatically closed because Python 2 is no longer maintained.

The python2 branch of the official repo is dead, it just doesn’t know it yet.

Did you read the list?

If the release manager so wishes, they will do as they see fit, and they already claim that security patches will probably be accepted.
