As the last release of Python 2 is finally out, the next version of Pywikibot
is going to be the **last version that supports Python 2**. Python 3.4 support
is also going to be dropped. After that Pywikibot is not going to receive
any further patches and bug fixes related to those Python versions. Its code
is going to be cleaned from their specific functions, patches, deprecations
and other stuff.

The next version will come out within a month from now. For your convenience,
it is marked with a "python2" git tag and it is also the last 3.0.x version
of Pywikibot. In case you really need it, Pywikibot team created
/shared/pywikibot/core_python2 repository in Toolforge and a python2-pywikibot
package in some operating systems software repositories with no guarantee.

Pywikibot team strongly recommends you to migrate your scripts from Python 2
to Python 3. The migration steps were described in the previous message,
which can be found here:

If you encounter problems with the migration, you can always ask us here:

Pywikibot team
