Sorry this might be a bit off topic, but I don't see a better place for this as the only one who could answer this question is going to be a developer who knows FreeNAS/BSD build "politics".
Any idea when Python2 is likely to be removed from FreeNAS?
The reason for my question is that I am currently running custom scripts written in Python2 on my FreeNAS box.
I have been reading that support for Python2 will be dropped in 2020, so unless the BSD folks decide to fork and continue support, some sort of change is going to be necessary. I noticed that Python3 is currently available, so that paves the way for the removal of Python2 on FreeNAS once it's no longer needed for either FreeNAS/BSD. Is Python2 used internally either by the OS/FreeNAS? If so, how much effort is being put into upgrading Python versons.
It would be nice to have some idea how much time I have to convert everything.
Thanks in advance. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
