Google Cloud Storage users,
Starting today with the gsutil 4.19 release, gsutil support for Python 2.6 is deprecated. gsutil will stop supporting Python 2.6 on September 1, 2016. This change is being made for two reasons. First, Python 2.6 hasn't received security patches since October 2013, and Google recommends that users stay current with security patches. Second, removing Python 2.6 support will enable gsutil to add support for Python 3. We hope to have Python 3 support for gsutil within the next 12 months.
Versions of gsutil released prior to September 1, 2016 will continue to work with Python 2.6. However, bug fixes will not be made retroactively to older gsutil versions, and users reporting bugs will be asked to upgrade to the current gsutil version (using Python 2.7, or, when it is supported, Python 3).
Thank you,
--Travis (and rest of the Google Cloud Storage team)
