Plan for dropping Python 2.7
----------------------------

The Python core team plans to stop supporting Python 2.7 on January 1st, 2020.
In line with `NumPy's plans`_, all pandas releases through December 31, 2018
will support Python 2.

The final release before **December 31, 2018** will be the last release to
support Python 2. The released package will continue to be available on
PyPI and through conda.

Starting **January 1, 2019**, all releases will be Python 3 only.

If there are people interested in continued support for Python 2.7 past December
31, 2018 (either backporting bugfixes or funding) please reach out to the
maintainers on the issue tracker.

For more information, see the `Python 3 statement`_ and the `Porting to Python 3 guide`_.
