| PEP: 373 | |
| Title: Python 2.7 Release Schedule | |
| Version: $Revision$ | |

| Python-Version: 2.7 | |
| Abstract | |
| ======== | |
| This document describes the development and release schedule for | |
| Python 2.7. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized | |
| items. Small features may be added up to and including the first beta | |
| release. Bugs may be fixed until the final release. | |
| Update | |
| ====== | |
| The End Of Life date (EOL, sunset date) for Python 2.7 has been moved | |
| five years into the future, to 2020. This decision was made to | |
| clarify the status of Python 2.7 and relieve worries for those users | |
| who cannot yet migrate to Python 3. See also PEP 466. | |
| This declaration does not guarantee that bugfix releases will be made | |
| on a regular basis, but it should enable volunteers who want to | |
| contribute bugfixes for Python 2.7 and it should satisfy vendors who | |
| still have to support Python 2 for years to come. | |
| There will be no Python 2.8 (see PEP 404). | |
