Hi,

just FYI I saw a news email flying by some Debian Developers communicating that the intention is to don't support Python2 *at all* in Debian 11 Bullseye (which is Buster+1).

I know we still have Jessie, Stretch and Buster, but worth noting!

More info: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal

That decision makes good sense. The Python project will consider Python 2.x out of support after 2020-01-01. Buster will keep it alive for us for quite a while after that, but we will need to do the work to remove our use of it as we find time. We have some tasks for this already: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218426 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218427
