@hugovk Ugh. I guess I know what I’ll be doing instead of actually working on getting dateutil 3.0 out next time I have free time to work on open source.

@hynek Yeah, that is indeed the problem. I’ve got too much to do and every time I try and accomplish the last task with 2.7 support I’m bogged down with a bunch of CI bitrot, which all bitrots again before I make much progress on the final PR.

@pganssle on a more serious note, Focal still ships 2.7 so that might buy you some time somehow?

@hynek @pganssle GitHub Actions does Docker too.

For example:
