Python 2 Support?

-----------------

62+
Yes! We do not have immediate plans to `sunset
63+
<https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/>`_ our support for Python
64+
2.7. We understand that we have a large user base with varying needs,
65+
and intend to maintain Python 2.7 support within Requests until `pip
66+
stops supporting Python 2.7 (there's no estimated date on that yet)
67+
<https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support>`_.
68+
69+
That said, it is *highly* recommended users migrate to Python 3.5+ since Python 2.7 will no longer be receiving bug fixes or security updates after January 1, 2020.
