NumPy will drop Python 2 support

The NumPy project is phasing out support for Python 2. "The Python core team plans to stop supporting Python 2 in 2020. The NumPy project has supported both Python 2 and Python 3 in parallel since 2010, and has found that supporting Python 2 is an increasing burden on our limited resources; thus, we plan to eventually drop Python 2 support as well. Now that we're entering the final years of community-supported Python 2, the NumPy project wants to clarify our plans, with the goal of to helping our downstream ecosystem make plans and accomplish the transition with as little disruption as possible." NumPy releases will fully support both Python 2 and Python 3 until December 31, 2018. New feature releases will support only Python 3 as of January 1, 2019. (Thanks to Nathaniel Smith)
