> Dear Biopythoneers,
>
> With the recent release of Biopython 1.69 we have dropped
> support for Python 2.6, and target Python 2.7 and Python 3.3
> onwards.
>
> The Python team will continue to support Python 2.7 in the
> medium term, but currently plan to stop support in 2020.
> This seems a sensible upper limit for how long Biopython
> continues to support Python 2.7.
>
> Furthermore, NumPy (which a lot of our code depends on) and
> other high profile relevant projects also intend to drop their
> Python 2.7 support by 2020 as advertised on this campaign
> site: http://www.python3statement.org/
>
> Does anyone object to adopting this goal for Biopython, and
> adding the project to http://www.python3statement.org/ ?

> Please reply to the mail discussion list and/or the developers
> list (the announcement mailing list will not accept any replies).
>
> (I've raised this on the Biopython developers mailing list before
> Christmas and last with no objections)
>
> Thank you,
