Official support for this version (EOL) ended on 31.12.2020 which was three years ago and over 12 years after 2.7 was released and over 20 years after Python 2.x. Even Debian oldstable has support for Python 3.7.\r\nMy main reason for this suggestion is code quality and the new language features (like type hints!). My PyLint can't handle the mixed style of the current scripts and things like:\r\n\r\n```\r\ntry:\r\n    from configparser import RawConfigParser, NoOptionError, NoSectionError\r\nexcept ImportError:\r\n    from ConfigParser import RawConfigParser, NoOptionError, NoSectionError\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n```\r\ntry:\r\n    # Python 3\r\n    eds.read_file(fp)\r\nexcept AttributeError:\r\n    # Python 2\r\n    eds.readfp(fp)\r\n```\r\n\r\n are ugly and smelly and can lead to further code errors. What do you guys think?","author":{"url":"https://github.com/friederschueler","@type":"Person","name":"friederschueler"},"datePublished":"2023-02-22T09:04:24.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/346/canopen/issues/346"}
