-In early 2020, YCM dropped support for Python 2. But we will maintain

|
|
-critical fixes on a branch named [legacy-py2][] for a period of 1 year.

Why?
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Over the past decade, YouCompleteMe has had an at times fractious,
|
|
|
-but ultimately very successful relationship with Python 2. However, more
|
|
|
-recently it has been carrying on a simultaneous relationship with Python 3.
|
|
|
-Indeed all of YCM and ycmd code is Python 3 code, with a lot of gubbins
|
|
|
-to make it work also on Python 2. This makes the code more complex,
|
|
|
-requires double testing of everything, and restricts the developers from using
|
|
|
-certain new language features, ultimately restricting the features we can
|
|
|
-deliver to users.

-On 1st January 2020, Python 2 will be officially end of life. And therefore, so
