[pydotorg-www] python2 EoL wiki "Python2orPython3"

[Matt Callaghan]

Thanks Chris - and I completely agree with your point.

What is the community's preference to that consideration?

The simplest solution I see is to add a "top header / block" that says the summary of:
"It is Python3 going forward, officially as of Jan2020. This page is largely out of date, but kept for historical reference as it provides value for maintaining legacy Python2 systems."

Good day,


Suggestion:


We may want to edit this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3


To denote the reality of: https://pythonclock.org/

(Jan2020 Python2 EoL)



I'd be happy to give you editing access to make this sort of change

yourself. Be aware that doing so may shift the tone of the entire

page, from "well, Py3 is preferred long-term option, but Py2 is still

pretty reasonable" to "Py3 is basically the only viable option for

anything beyond the near future". That will probably necessitate other

edits.
