Activity
/assign
I think we should probably wait till v12 stable is released to accommodate a client version for server version v1.16, which brought many breaking changes. What do you think?
/assignit's good to stop supporting python 2 in next release. before that, please make an announcement about it in dev mailing list and slack channel.

The roadmap that we discussed in the previous meetings based on the comments here:
- Keep the support for Python 2 in Kubernetes Client v12.0.0
- Send a communication to the mailing list and slack channel about dropping support in future releases
- Drop support for Python 2 in Kubernetes Client v13.0.0
Update
This is planned for v18.0.0 now. A deprecation notice will be added to v17.0.0.Reacted by Moshe VaynerWith 12.0.0 being released, is this planned for the next release?
@booooh -- Yes. We are planning to add a deprecation notice in the next release and completely remove in the release after that.
Python 2 support had been dropped since Client Version v18.17.0a1 with v18.20.0 being the first stable release. 🎉

Details
In response to this:

/closeInstructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.
Python 2 has reached End of Life as of January 1, 2020 and we are still supporting it. Releasing future versions of the client and maintaining released versions with Python 2 support might lead to problems for downstream users.
My suggestion is to stop releasing the client with Python 2 support and removing Python 2.7 from CI/CD.
Also, it would be helpful if we provide a warning message in the README against using Python 2 versions of already released client versions.
