<br>
With the recent release of Biopython 1.69 we have dropped<br>
support for Python 2.6, and target Python 2.7 and Python 3.3<br>
onwards.<br>
<br>
The Python team will continue to support Python 2.7 in the<br>
medium term, but currently plan to stop support in 2020.<br>
This seems a sensible upper limit for how long Biopython<br>
<span>continues to support Python 2.7.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, NumPy (which a lot of our code depends on) and<br>
other high profile relevant projects also intend to drop their<br>
Python 2.7 support by 2020 as advertised on this campaign<br>
site: <a href="http://www.python3statement.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.python3statement.or<wbr>g/</a><br>
<br>
Does anyone object to adopting this goal for Biopython, and<br>
adding the project to <a href="http://www.python3statement.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.python3statement.or<wbr>g/</a> ?<br>
<br>
</span>Please reply to the mail discussion list and/or the developers<br>
list (the announcement mailing list will not accept any replies).<br>
<br>
(I've raised this on the Biopython developers mailing list before<br>
Christmas and last with no objections)<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
