Python 3 migration begins!

The first day of the New Year brought not only flowing champagne but also the formal end of support for Python 2.

At CloudLinux, we are getting ready for a new future with Python. We are migrating all Python 2 code to Python 3, for all our projects and packages, including the alt-python27-cllib package. In the first quarter of 2020, all packages written for Python 2 will be replaced by packages written for Python 3.

The alt-python27-cllib package (which uses Python 2) will be replaced by the alt-python-cllib package which uses Python 3.

Please note, we never announce CLI utilities code as a public API and do not recommend importing that code into our customers’ own products.

To integrate with CloudLinux we recommend running our CLI utilities as a subprocess. You can find the examples of CLI commands here: https://docs.cloudlinux.com/command-line_tools/.

Please note that the customer’s Python 2 applications will work as before in CloudLinux Python Selector.
