Abstract
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
This document describes the development and release schedule for
|
||
Python 2.7. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized
|
||
items. Small features may be added up to and including the first beta
|
||
release. Bugs may be fixed until the final release.
|
||
|
||
Update
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
clarify the status of Python 2.7 and relieve worries for those users
|
||
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 (see PEP 404).
