[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-17242) Remove Python 2.x support from CQLSH

Brad Schoening created CASSANDRA-17242:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove Python 2.x support from CQLSH
                 Key: CASSANDRA-17242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17242
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: CQL/Interpreter
            Reporter: Brad Schoening


Python 2 has now reached EOL and should be removed from CQLSH and other Cassandra components.

"We are volunteers who make and take care of the Python programming language. We have decided that January 1, 2020, was the day that we sunset Python 2. That means that we will not improve it anymore after that day, even if someone finds a security problem in it. You should upgrade to Python 3 as soon as you can.

And if many people keep using Python 2, then that makes it hard for [the volunteers who use Python to make software|https://python3statement.org/#sections50-why]. They can't use the good new things in Python 3 to improve the tools they make.

As of January 1st, 2020 no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to Python 2, and Python 2 is no longer supported.

"
