Despite the widely circulated January 1 2020 date, it seems that python-dev
nevertheless plans to make a Python 2.7 release in April 2020 -
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

This is not to say the questions here don't need answering or that there
isn't some urgency at this point, but it seems like the January 1 date is
essentially an arbitrary deadline without a clear connection to the support
status of CPython 2.7.

Or does anyone know a different way to reconcile these apparently
conflicting dates?
