I am 100%, overwhelmingly in favour of this. Without this PEP, Python 2.7 is a security liability, any it becomes nothing short of irresponsible to use Python 2.7 for any form of networking code that hits the open internet.

Agreed (although this might be a slight overstatement if taken literally). However, the right consequence should be to use Python 3.4 instead.

Regards, Martin
