Hi,

I looked at the "Status of Python branches" to check if it was up to date. It's the case, thanks :-) But it recalled me that no exact date was decided for the official end of line of the the Python 2 branch (2.7 EOL). https://docs.python.org/devguide/#status-of-python-branches says January 1st, 2020 https://pythonclock.org/ picked April 12th, 2020 (Pycon US)

I suggest we pick April 1st, 2020, so as to extra confuse users who are still on Python 2 ;-)

Regards

Antoine.
