I think our wiki vetoes that idea. See https://wiki.sagemath.org/Python3-Switch :
Compiling with Python 2 After version 9.0, if you really want so, you can still build and use SageMath with *Python 2*, as follows. make configure./configure --with-python=2make build Beware that you will need to call the second line again if you ever call "make distclean". This will work until version 9.1 at least. Then the backward compatibility with Python 2 will no longer be ensured. If you want to drop py2 compatibility very soon, the only option is to release 9.1 basically right now, identical to 9.0, and then get on with developing 9.2. That's a nasty thing to do. Based on previous release schedules, people would be justified in expecting that <=9.1 is the "current" release until at least June 2020 or so. So we're stuck with py2 compatibility until that time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
