Python 2.7 support is EOL
-------------------------
The last version of cmd2 to support Python 2.7 is [0.8.9](https://pypi.org/project/cmd2/0.8.9/), released on August 21, 2018.
Python 3.5 support ending soon
------------------------------
`cmd2` will end support for Python 3.5 on August 31, 2020. Python 3.5 was [released](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html)
on Sept. 13, 2015 and its [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches) is planned for September 2020.

Supporting Python 2 was an increasing burden on our limited resources. Switching to support only Python 3 is allowing
us to clean up the codebase, remove some cruft, and focus on developing new features.
New versions of `cmd2` will stop supporting Python 3.5 in a few months. We are very much looking forward to being able to use
[features added in Python 3.6](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html) such as [f-strings](https://realpython.com/python-f-strings/).
