paho.mqtt.python Roadmap for dropping support for Python 2

Is there any roadmap for dropping support for Python 2, along the lines of https://python3statement.org/?

@PierreF @ralight what do you guys think about this? I think it makes sense, but I am not sure how many people will be affected by this.

I am not involved in the Paho Python code at the moment, but take the stance that if upstream doesn't support something then neither should I. Support for 2.7 should go before 1st January 2020. I'd also support the suggestion to drop it before/as part of the MQTT v5 work.

If there's any interest I'd be happy to work on this. In a similar vein, Python 3.6 is now out of support, so it could also be dropped.

Python 2.7 support was implicitly dropped in 1.6.x.

Future versions will only support Python 3.7+: https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.python/blob/b29e31c8943702cd5fcc3dbddc505107c57eaaa8/pyproject.toml#L13

I'm going to close this as the readme now states "It supports Python 3.7+" (and the next release should be out shortly).
