[jira] [Commented] (MADLIB-1437) Add Python 3 support
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1437?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17132580#comment-17132580 ]
Frank McQuillan commented on MADLIB-1437:
-----------------------------------------
Correct you need to use Python2 for MADlib currently. This is because Greenplum database has not yet upgraded to Python3. However, there is a project in process now to update Greenplum database to Python3, as soon as that is done, we will upgrade MADlib to Python3 too.
I just communicated with a VMware person who is part of the team working on this. She said there is no github issue, but watching the related pull requests on
https://github.com/greenplum-db/gpdb
is one way to track.
For specific questions, you can write to gpdb-dev mailing list

> *Source: [https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/#:~:text=As%20of%20January%201st%2C%202020,%2C%202019)%20and%20January%201st.]*
>
> *How long is it till the sunset date?*
> The sunset date has now passed; it was January 1st, 2020.
> *What happens now?*
> 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.
> A few changes were made between when we released Python 2.7.17 (on October 19th, 2019) and January 1st. As a service to the community, we bundled those fixes (and only those fixes) and [released a 2.7.18|https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-announce-list@python.org/thread/OFCIETIXLX34X7FVK5B5WPZH22HXV342/]. We did that in April 2020, because that was convenient for the release managers, not because it implied anything about when support ended. For more technical details, please see [this explanation|http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_answers.html#when-is-the-last-release-of-python-2-7-coming-out].
