Ending Python 2.7 Support

Open busunkim96 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

I work on the Google Cloud Client Libraries team. I noticed that this package depends on google-api-core. We're planning to officially remove 2.7 support (require >=3.6) in google-api-core soon.

Is there a timeline for removing 2.7 support from this package? If there are no blockers I am happy to open a PR to update setup.py. 😄

Thanks!

Hey :) we didn't have plans to remove it. OpenTelemetry only supports 3.6+ so we wanted to keep support for 2.7 here as long as possible for folks who are stuck on that. If there are any big security issues with no backport available, we can drop it though.

A lot of customers are still on Python v2.7 so might need a longer discussion.
