stestr Python 2 Support
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to send a quick update about the state of python 2 support in stestr, since OpenStack is the largest user of the project. With the recent release of stestr 2.4.0 we've officially deprecated the python 2.7 support in stestr. It will emit a DeprecationWarning whenever it's run from the CLI with python 2.7 now. The plan (which is not set in stone) is that we will be pushing a 3.0.0 release that removes the python 2 support and compat code from stestr sometime in early 2020 (definitely after the Python 2.7 EoL on Jan. 1st). I don't believe this conflicts with the current Python version support plans in OpenStack [1] but just wanted to make sure people were aware so that there are no surprises when stestr stops working with Python 2 in 3.0.0.
Thanks,
-Matt Treinish

Thanks Matt. I know it's a little meta but if something really strange were to happen would you be open to doing 2.X.Y releases while we still have maintained branches that use it?
Yours Tony.

Sure, I'm open to doing that if the need arises. The normal release process for stestr doesn't involve branching. But, if there is a critical issue in 2.x.y that requires a fix we can easily create a branch and push a bugfix release when/if that happens.
