Question: is python 2.7 still supported?

[HoussemNasri]

Python 2.7 is listed in the trove classifiers, but using the library in a Python 2 project yields errors due to the usage of f-strings.

https://github.com/atlassian-api/atlassian-python-api/blob/8f7e4e368fcff54d8566746955aacec9cbad2b24/setup.py#L49

This is the error:

from atlassian import Bitbucket
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\atlassian\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from .confluence import Confluence
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\atlassian\confluence.py", line 1343
    r = self._session.get(f"{download_link}")

I ran python -m compileall . using python2.7 and got the following result. It suggests that there has been 3 occasions where backward compatibility was broken. Do you think we can change these 3 cases to maintain python2.7 compatibility in upstream or you want to keep using python 3?

hmm.. in my opinion setup.py should be updated to remove python2.7 - it hit EOL long time ago so there is no reason to be worried about backward compatibility with already obsolete version.

It would certainly make supporting the library a bit easier.

So Let's drop python 2, as I see stats goes down
