Sunsetting Python 2

Given we'll be at Python 3.8 next month, I can't help but wonder about Python 4. When it will happen, and how long.

All indications are that we'll see 3.10 before 4 is considered.

I think it would probably be ok to start thinking about it in a year or two from the py2 sunset. It will be a minor update anyway, it's just a PR exercise that can be done whenever people think it would be more effective.

I dont think python 4 will be what you think it will. Most likely it will just be the next version of 3, not a game changing upgrade.
