A failed vote does not mean the proposal is rejected, just not accepted at this time. (To reject a proposal entirely is its own vote) This is my +1 (binding) vote. Having to support Python 2 and 3 concurrently causes some maintenance and development burden (which is lessened a bit by six and backports modules), significant extra test time on Travis, and more complexity on the CI process to also have Python 2 images. Python 2 is reaching End of Life in January 1, 2020 and will receive zero updates, even security ones past this date. Django dropped support for Python 2 with their 2.0 release in December 2017, and this proposal has us follow suit. Airflow 2.0 is already a fairly major breaking change, so this could be an opportune time to do this. There is already a significant list of projects which are dropping support for Python2: https://python3statement.org/ Furthermore, the community started recently adding types to the code of Airflow to help new contributors, and make the code more readable/maintainable: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/4926/files Right now we're limited to setting these types in the comments, to maintain Airflow 2.7 compatibility, which is a pity. For discussing the proposal in depth, please refer to the Wiki to keep all the communication in a single place: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/AIP-3+Drop+support+for+Python+2 Thanks, Fokko -- Best regards, Andrii Soldatenko Python Developer skype: andrii.soldatenko andrii.soldate...@gmail.com<mailto:andrii.soldate...@gmail.com> http://asoldatenko.com
