[Distutils] Re: pip 20.3 release (new resolver as default)

Incidentally, I should have mentioned here earlier: pip 20.3 turned the new resolver on by default for Python 3 users. When users use pip 20.3 in a Python 2 environment, the old dependency resolver is still the default. Python 2 users should also note that pip 21.0 in January will remove Python 2 support: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support . -- Sumana Harihareswara Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc
