The time has come. Train is almost out the door and we're already well into Ussuri planning and work. We agreed some time ago that this cycle was the right one to drop support for Python 2.7 [1] and to that effect I've proposed a patch to do just this in nova [2]. However, I have noticed a large number of the third party CIs are failing on this patch. This is because they are still testing with Python 2 and the patch marks nova as only supporting Python 3. As you can see in that patch, the effort to switch things over is not that significant, and I'd ask that any owners of third party CIs prioritise work to switch these things over in the next few weeks leading up to the PTG so we can merge this change as soon as possible. Please reach out on IRC if you have any concerns or questions.
