Thread: Drop Python 2 support in pgAdmin?
Python 2 has been unsupported for a few months now.
Does anyone object to dropping Python 2 support in pgAdmin? This primarily affects our Python package - other installers and packages all use Python 3 I believe.

I know that Apple at least is pushing that if any products depend on Python or other dynamic language runtimes they should be bundling the runtime with the app and not expecting the system to provide it. And in that case, bundle whatever version you want, probably the very latest Python. Further to this, Apple has deprecated that it is bundling these things with the MacOS. -- Darren Duncan

I know that Apple at least is pushing that if any products depend on Python or
other dynamic language runtimes they should be bundling the runtime with the app

Yeah, that is true. We stopped using the system Python on macOS quite some time ago now for that reason. Our packages currently use 3.8, which we bundle.
That does remind me though, that I should cleanup the build script as it does still have support for the system Python in it.
