REVIEW NEEDED: Python 2 EOL press release and publication list
by Ewa Jodlowska Dec. 18, 2019

Dec. 18, 2019

Hi Communications team! Changeset Consulting has been working on a press release for Python 2 EOL. Cc'ed in is the Changeset group working on this: Greg who has been working on this task and Sumana who has been overseeing. Please review the press release and publication list that will be approached with this press release. A few general notes: - Goal is to get this out this week. - Greg will work on a blog post (on pyfound) to publish at the same time as this press release. I have edits/suggestions to make for the press release: - After reviewing this with Ernest, we recommend linking to the branch status page so folks know they should migrate to a version that hasn't reached end-of-life (for example 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 have already reached their end-of-life) - Such as "Users are urged to migrate to a supported version of Python 3 in order to benefit from tits many improvements, as well as to avoid potential security vulnerabilities in Python 2.x after April 2020. For the current status and status of Python 3 versions, see https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches” - Since the Steering Council reviewed this PR, a few more links were added (which is great!). The long Q&A is reflective of the Jan 2020 and April 2020 dates but the short Q&A link only refers to Jan 2020. We should probably update the short Q&A to reflect http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_a… - Can we link to https://www.python.org/psf/ where it says what the PSF is? - Not sure if it is possible to list the date in ISO format: the year first, followed by month, then day - There seems to be a word (or words) missing after "CPython" in this sentence: "Going forward, Python 3 is the only major version the CPython will be actively maintained for bugs and security issues." Communication team: Please chime in with edits/suggestions. As mentioned earlier, the goal is to get this out this week.
