[gdal-dev] Call for discussion on RFC77 Drop Python 2 support

[Momtchil Momtchev]

     Hello,


It seems that you have already decided, but just for your information, 
there is this page:

https://python3statement.org/

Maybe you can add GDAL too

2020 will be the year that most major packages will start dropping 
Python 2 support. 2018 was the year that most major distributions 
switched their default interpreters to Python 3.
