The End Of Life date (EOL, sunset date) for Python 2.7 has been moved

five years into the future, to 2020. This decision was made to

who cannot yet migrate to Python 3. See also PEP 466.

This declaration does not guarantee that bugfix releases will be made

on a regular basis, but it should enable volunteers who want to

contribute bugfixes for Python 2.7 and it should satisfy vendors who

still have to support Python 2 for years to come.

There will be no Python 2.8.
