Python 2.7 went EOL on 2020-01-01. 🪦
https://devguide.python.org/versions/
Github Actions and Azure DevOps will be dropping Python 2.7 starting 2023-05-15, taking 3-4 days for rollout. ⏳
"Possible impact
"If your builds depend on python2.7 they will be broken."
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/7401
#GitHub #GitHubActions #Azure #AzureDevOps #Python #Python27 #CI #EOL
Next, GitHub will be removing support for Python 2.7 from actions/setup-python in under a month, on 19th June. 🪦
"Breaking changes
"Hello everyone. The Python 2.7.x will be removed from python-versions and it won't be possible to set up Python 2.7.x by setup-python.
"The motivation for the changes
"Python2.7 is not supported since January 1, 2020."
@hugovk Ugh. I guess I know what I'll be doing instead of actually working on getting `dateutil` 3.0 out next time I have free time to work on open source.
@pganssle Dropping 2.7 or setting up your own self-hosted CI?
@hynek Yeah, that is indeed the problem. I've got too much to do and every time I try and accomplish the last task with 2.7 support I'm bogged down with a bunch of CI bitrot, which all bitrots again before I make much progress on the final PR.
@pganssle on a more serious note, Focal still ships 2.7 so that might buy you some time somehow?
@hynek @pganssle GitHub Actions does Docker too.
For example:

@pganssle there HAS to be a better hobby available to you
