Quietly and unnoticed, on April 20, 2020, the developers announced the release Python 2.7.18 — վերջին տարբերակի of Python from the branch Python 3, the support for which is now officially discontinued.
Python — a high-level general-purpose programming language aimed at increasing developer productivity and code readability. The core Python syntax is minimalist. At the same time, the standard library includes a large number of useful functions.
Python supports structured, object-oriented, functional, imperative, and aspect-oriented programming. The main architectural features include dynamic typing, automatic memory management, full introspection, exception handling mechanisms, support for multithreaded computing, and high-level data structures. Program segmentation into modules is supported, which can, in turn, be grouped into packages.
All users are recommended to switch to the third branch of the language — Python 3.
It is also worth noting that to maintain the stability of existing projects, the community, whose members are still interested in this, will take care of fixing vulnerabilities in Python 2.7. For example, Red Hat will support packages with Python 2.7 for RHEL 6 and 7 distributions, while it will provide package updates in the Application Stream for the 8th version of the distribution until June 2024.
