Looking for purchase module to filter vendors in PO
Installing Odoo on ubuntu desktop is suitable for production?
Abandoning python 2, Odoo <= 10
Hi everyone,
As time goes by, it becomes harder and harder to support very old and unsupported python versions, as libraries and tooling stop supporting it.
Moreover, the growing number of branches place an increasing burden on our infrastructure (bot, weblate, etc).
Therefore the board proposes to drop support for Python 2 and therefore Odoo <= 10.0.
Concretely, this means the branches will remain available for ad-hoc collaboration or bug fixes, but we will stop maintaining tooling: CI (travis will soon be stopped), weblate sync, bot, publishing to PyPI etc.
This may happen soon as we clean up things while preparing for Odoo 17. In the future we will consider having an explicit version support policy, but I suspect the main decision criteria will be tool maintenance burden.
Best regards,
-Stéphane

At some point it will break down, yes, if only because CI will be red.

Hello Stéphane, This is a good decision IMO. you mention "bot", does this mean the OCA bot will no longer be useable to merge PRs?

Re: Abandoning python 2, Odoo <= 10
+1 for me. V10 is old enough. There's no sense on keeping "support" for older versions.El vie, 27 oct 2023 18:57, Pedro M. Baeza <notifications@odoo-community.org> escribió:Yes, it's needed. If someone wants to contribute some support though, it's always welcome.Regards._______________________________________________
