Extended 5 years, shouldn't the EOL be 2020-07-03? > > Also, this statement is a little unclear to me: > >> Specifically, 2.7 will receive bugfix support until January 1, 2020. All >> 2.7 development work will cease in 2020. > > This statement makes it sound like bugfixes end on Jan 1st, but seems to > leave open the possibility that security fixes could continue through the > year. > > Thanks! > Collin > > > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/vstinner%40redhat.com > _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
