Hi, |

As many of you surely know, upstream support for python 2.7 is ending in 2020. |
| 4 |
Someone else may fill the gap but by and large people have migrated to python3. |
| 5 |
sage has slowly been migrating to python 3 over the last couple of years and |
| 6 |
sage 9.0 (the next release) will be the first one which default to python3 |
| 7 |
(3.7 to be more precise). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
With that being said I am not sure for how long, after the first of January 2020, |
| 10 |
Gentoo will support python 2.7. So I have decided that in Gentoo the next release |
| 11 |
of sage (9.0) will drop python 2.7. While upstream may cling to it for a bit longer |
| 12 |
I want to have a head start on the impeding removal of python 2.7 from the main tree. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
For people following sage-9999 (the next beta release of sage), the drop will |
| 15 |
occur in the next release (probably called 9.0.beta7). |

Cheers, |
