Why are we doing this?
Python 2.7 will reach it’s official ‘end of life’ (EOL) on December 31st, 2019. This means that it will no longer be supported by its maintainers. Accordingly, we will retire python-rtmbot support for Python 2.7.

“Python 2.x is legacy, Python 3.x is the present and future of the language.“

How will this change the project?
All new python-rtmbot features and bug fixes will continue to be supported in Python 2.7 until Dec 31st, 2019.

After January 1, 2020 we’ll be creating a new version of the python-rtmbot. This version will remove any Python 2.x specific code. We’ll also immediately stop fixing any bugs and security vulnerabilities that are specific to this older version.

We’d love your feedback!
