It has been known for quite some time that Python 2 will reach its endof life in 2020-after being extended by five years from its original 2015expiry. After that, there will be no support, bug fixes, or security patches forPython 2, at least from the Python Software Foundation and the coredevelopers. Some distributions will need to continue to support the finalPython 2 release, however, since their support windows extend pastthat date; the enterprise and long-term support distributions willlikely be supporting it well into the 2020s and possibly beyond.
