| If you are a NumPy user who requires ongoing Python2 support in 2020 or later, | ||

This would be a good place to add an link of some form (e.g., an email address for a core developer who could coordinate)

That would just be the mailing list, I guess? I dunno, if you can't figure out how to contact the project then maybe you shouldn't be selling commercial support for numpy :-).

Matthias Bussonier suggested to make it "should continue", have no clue myself, doubt it matters too much.

2n's but yes :-) thanks. From experience with IPython many Python 2 users have an old verision of pip. Here is my download statistics analysis for IPython. Though with a good error message in setup.py (please upgrade pip) it tend to get solved fast.

Maybe we should make that suggestion in the next release? It can't hurt to have it done before Python2 is dropped.

For reference, the pip version should be >= 9.

Anyway, I am good with putting this in with or without modifications. Should wait a week more or so to give everyone a chance to protest maybe. |

Just as a thought, if you bump version number and get a LTS you should likely have version 2.x be LTS and version 3.x be python 3 only. |
|
I'm putting this in now. We can update it if there are future changes. |

I put a 1.14 milestone on this as I would like to include a reference in the release notes.
