After 11 years of supporting programming language Python from the 2.7 branch, the Python Software Foundation has released the last ever update for it and is urging users to move on to Python 3 to continue receiving first-party support.
Python 2.7 support was meant to end in 2015 but was extended five years until 2020, six years after Python’s creator, Guido van Rossum, announced Python 3 and implored users to “move on to Python 3”.
As an open-source project, third parties are free to offer paid support for older versions of Python, but the Python 2.* Software Foundation from now on will only provide free, 1st-party support for Python 3.
