Hi, This sounds like a good plan to me. This means that Python 2 is still supported and up to date for at least another year with scikit-image, but internally we can already start taking advantage of Python 3 features. Also, I have the feeling that there is already relatively good Python 3 support in the scientific community at this point. It will only get better in another year when we release 0.15. Cheers, Johannes

Hi, everyone
I'd like to make a 4th attempt to determine our transition pathway to Python 3. The last thread is here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/scikit-image/2017-July/005304.html
I would like to propose that the next version, 0.14 (scheduled for March of next year), becomes the last targeted for Python 2. It will also be an LTS (Long Time Support), which means we will backport serious fixes for a period of one year. 0.15 will then target Python >= 3.5 only (sorry, no f-strings yet!).
Let me know your thoughts.
