#Python 2 is dead since 2020. If you continue to support it in your projects, you're not doing your users a service.
What you're doing is forcing a lot of backwards compatibility baggage to your users, discouraging people from contributing and effectively burying your project.

Noah told the animals he'd saved: "go forth and multiply".
And they did, but he noticed a couple of snakes just sitting in the corner, looking sad.
And Noah asked them, "what's the matter"?
They said: "sorry, we're adders. we can't multiply".
Hearing that, Noah fetched his tools and a few planks from the ship and made them a wooden table:
"Here, with a log table even adders can multiply."

Do you remember the interaction between @neilhimself and the #DCU about lack of masturbation? There is a hidden wisdom behind this decision.

(*) Making yourself blind certainly qualifies as unhealthy behaviour, right? :D
