Drop Python 2.7 support

Open adamchainz opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Upstream IPython dropped it in version 6.0.0, in April 2017. I think it's fine to drop it here now.

Would also be good to use this opportunity to mark the release as 1.0.0.

I would like to keep 2.7 support unless it avoids support for new features...

Why? It's dead for nearly 2 years now. For those on Python 2, pip will install the old version, thanks to python_requires.

As said above, if it does not hinder new features, I see no reason to stop support.

Further, I know a lot of people still using Py 2.

Okay well up to you. You can keep this PR open for when the time comes if you like.

Good point

2.7 IPython vulernability fixes won't be installable through pip for https://github.com/gotcha/ipdb/pull/248, as they're installable from source only.

@gotcha merge it please! Let's avoid disturbing the dead, or better avoid being hunted by zombies.
