Abstract
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
This document describes the development and release schedule for
|
||
Python 2.7.
|
||
|
||
Python 2.7 is the end of the Python 2.x series, and is succeeded by
|
||
Python 3. See `the "Sunsetting Python 2" FAQ on python.org
|
||
<https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/>`_ for a general
|
||
overview.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Update (April 2014)
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
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`).

||
