Devs,
Python 2 reaches end of life on 1 January, 2020, according to PEP 373 and python/devguide#344 based on https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-March/152348.html.
Many of our dependencies (notably numpy, see Plan for dropping Python 2.7 support) have ceased Python 2.7 support in new releases or will also drop Python 2.7 in 2020.
I know that science is rolling slowly and surely some scientific projects will continue with Python 2.7 beyond 2020. MDAnalysis has been supporting Python 2 and Python 3 now for a while. However, given how precious developer time is, I think we also need to decide that we will stop caring for 2.7 after the official Python 2.7 drop date. However, feel free to voice a different opinion! (Users are also welcome to chime in!!)
