Frank McQuillan commented on MADLIB-1437:
-----------------------------------------
Greenplum still does not support Python3 yet. They are behind on this,
unfortunately and we cannot support it in MADlib until the database server
does. When they do, MADLib will support it too.
> Add Python 3 support

> *How long is it till the sunset date?*
> The sunset date has now passed; it was January 1st, 2020.
> *What happens now?*
> As of January 1st, 2020 no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to
> Python 2, and Python 2 is no longer supported.
> A few changes were made between when we released Python 2.7.17 (on October
> 19th, 2019) and January 1st. As a service to the community, we bundled those
> fixes (and only those fixes) and [released a
> 2.7.18|https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-announce-l...@python.org/thread/OFCIETIXLX34X7FVK5B5WPZH22HXV342/].
> We did that in April 2020, because that was convenient for the release
> managers, not because it implied anything about when support ended. For more
> technical details, please see [this
> explanation|http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_answers.html#when-is-the-last-release-of-python-2-7-coming-out].
