Thanks for the reminder! I'll be honest: even if somebody in this list objects to dropping Python 2 support, I'm not willing to be maintainer of a Python 2 codebase in 2020. The only reason for not doing it in 4.1 was the tests/vm/netbsd breakage we took very long to debug and fix. I have just submitted this pull request: Subject: [PULL 0/2] Require Python >= 3.5 to build QEMU https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20191220165141.2207058-1-ehabk...@redhat.com/ > > Cc'ing everyone who appears to be maintaining something that looks like > a Python script. > > [*] https://pythonclock.org/ -- Eduardo
