Plans for Zope 2 after Python 2.7 deadline
by Jesus Cea 15 Feb '19

With less than a year away until Python 2.7 becomes "deadware", I wonder about the plan. I am using Zope 2.13 under Python 2.7. Huge sites with ZODB sizes in the multi gigabyte range. A handful of custom classes I could rewrite in Python 3 if needed. Is there any best practices I should be aware/follow to survive after Python 2.7 demise?. How long will be Zope2 2.13 be alive after that?. What about migration plans to Zope 4? Of course, I know that Python 2.7 interpreter will not suddenly die 1st January 2020. Just wondering if there is a ZOPE roadmap migration or if it will be a procedure each of us will need to overcome alone. Thanks for like 22 years of great service, so far :). That is very appreciated, whatever happens.
