Hi,
The reference is the PEP 373 "Python 2.7 Release Schedule". See the
"Update" section:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/#update
We could probably make it more clear in this section and/or in
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/#id4 that there will be no 2.7
releases of any kind after 2020-01-01: no bugfix, no security, and no source
releases after that date.
I'll whip something up if there's general agreement.
+1 from me, but IIRC, Benjamin has said that the final 2.7 release may not
happen *exactly* on January 1st (due to holidays and such), but that we should
still consider that the “hammer date” when all support stops. We should get
some confirmation from Benjamin (the 2.7 release manager) on the (tentative)
exact final release date, and then codify that in the PEP. I’d be very happy
if that, or say December 31 2019 were the actual last release date.
Agreed on getting Benjamin's blessing. We can discuss it in a few weeks.
Eric
