I strongly encourage all getmail users to be using the latest compatible Python releases, though getmail still supports older versions of Python for compatibility/support reasons. There's a lot of getmail out there running on appliances that have not necessarily been upgraded since they were first deployed. The bit that sticks in my craw is distros/others screaming that the sky is falling and they need to immediately drop all Python 2 applications because omg omg Python 2 is no longer officially supported. getmail is extremely unlikely to be the source of any security holes just because Python 2 isn't getting updated.
