[Bug 1073506] [NEW] Drop support for Python 2.6
Public bug reported: Whenever the dependency stack is ported to Python 3, Mailman 3 will be ported to Python 3. In the meantime, making the code Python 2.7 -3 clean is an intermediate step toward Python 3 support. In order to do this, we really need to drop Python 2.6 support and this will also allow us to improve the test suite, as well as other code improvements. Besides, Python 2.6 is 4 years old and in security-only maintenance mode, while Python 2.7 is stable and still supported for bug fixes. ** Affects: mailman Importance: High Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: In Progress ** Tags: mailman3 ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: mailman Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mailman Assignee: (unassigned) => Barry Warsaw (barry) ** Changed in: mailman Milestone: None => 3.0.0b3 ** Tags added: mailman3 ** Changed in: mailman Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073506 Title: Drop support for Python 2.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1073506/+subscriptions
