"Python 2.7.15 released -- the last 2.7 release!" (and a link to this<br>
thread)<br>
<br>
I was under the impression that 2.7 was being supported until 2020.  If this<br>
is the final release of 2.7, what would "support" constitute?  My assumption<br>
was that the final release of 2.7 would be sometime in 2020 (or much closer<br>
to 2020 than 19 months).<br>
