Since PEP 8 is a "living document" that is occasionally updated, I think that's reasonable. Don't go overboard. I found 10 occurrences of the string "python 2" in the text. You might also want to strike the paragraph that links to reference [6]. On Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 9:42 PM Christopher Barker <pythonchb@gmail.com> wrote:
I just noticed that PEP 8 has quite a few references to Python 2. Perhaps it's time to remove those.
There are more and more folks that have never learned or used Python 2 -- having those notes in PEP 8 is just confusing.
And for folks that are still maintaining Py 2 code -- it's probably too late for PEP 8 for those code bases anyway.
If I make a PR, will it be considered?
