It seems to suggest they are, but it wasn't explicitly worded as such. For anything security-specific, there needs to be an abundance of clarity.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 31 Aug 2020 19:15:26 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-2-7-support-and-arcmap-end-of-life/m-p/2242#M198 ChrisSmith7 2020-08-31T19:15:26Z Re: Python 2.7 support and ArcMap end-of-life https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-2-7-support-and-arcmap-end-of-life/m-p/2243#M199 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Probably not what anyone wants to hear, but this needs to be taken into consideration when planning your agency's migration to Pro.&nbsp; How dependent are you python and&nbsp;how long are you going to kick the migration can down the road?&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I don't know how big your organization is with respect to ArcGIS users, but here we are at Q4 2020, and 2024 is going to get here before you know it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 31 Aug 2020 19:16:47 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-2-7-support-and-arcmap-end-of-life/m-p/2243#M199 JoeBorgione 2020-08-31T19:16:47Z Re: Python 2.7 support and ArcMap end-of-life https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-2-7-support-and-arcmap-end-of-life/m-p/2244#M200 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Even if the migration were to be completed within six months, my main concerns are, if there is a core security vulnerability revealed tomorrow, will Esri provide support and mitigation?
