I saw protobuf have some commits which stop testing and building wheels for python2:

2fbc07b
#8891

And the codes does not support python2 now: #8984

So I think I can assume protobuf does not support python2 for now. I think we should add a python_requires field in setup.py, pip and poetry will check this field and fallback to older version if it in python2 environment.

According to https://packaging.python.org/guides/dropping-older-python-versions/#dropping-a-python-release and adding such field on other project, I think we need a 3.17.4 release with the python_requires that includes Python 2 and then a release 3.18.1 that drops Python 2 support.

@Lothiraldan As the document you linked above, and the semver said, I think publish a major version (4.0.0) and yank the current version 3.18.0 is the right way.

@aisk Sorry to ask, but where is the 4.0.0 version? I don't see it on Pypi nor see a tag or branch for 4.0.0.

From past releases of protobuf ,it looks like the version numbers need to match the version of the runtime and protoc.

I think what @Lothiraldan suggested should work well:

This change will break old codes so it's better to have a major release. But if protobuf have it's own versioning strategy I think it's ok, the python_requires field should solve most problem (except people who have old version pip / setuptools).

They should probably just release 3.18.1 and yank or delete 3.18.0 from PyPI

Thanks, @aisk. I am getting ready to do a 3.18.1 release that will include this fix.
