I copied this from github (and added to):
I don't think anyone really thinks we can/should keep supporting py2 in the

The real questions are how/when will we transition - as the transition will be
very disruptive.
Will we do a final py2 release first? QtPlasmac might appreciate this (or is
2.8 mostly the same?)
QtPlasmaC is not in 2.8.
Would releasing a python2 version of QtPlamaC be desirable in your opinion?
Do very many people use QtPlasmac in production situations right now?
Have you tested QtPlasmac in python3?
Will we wait until we have every program converted to py3?
What will we do for programs not converted? remove the code? just remove from
build?
For PlasmaC, the intention at this stage is to remove it from master when the
py3 changover happens then users that want to stay with the latest master can
migrate to QtPlasmaC. (PlasmaC will stay in 2.8)
That seems reasonable as there is an upgrade path.
How will we warning/inform users (in production/semi-production) of master that
we will break everything.
Keeping in mind if a user is using master in older distributions, it may
require the user to upgrade to a new distribution to have python3 support.
We should start warning people soon - what is the best way?
I jumped the gun and made a start here
<https://forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/42524-important-notice-for-plasmac-users#208609>
I saw that! We need to target a time to make it more useful, but that
lets people most affected to discuss it more broadly
