There is a noticeable amount of Python 2 discussion here, even though we don't support Python 2 anymore in the codebase.

Can you explain why you added so much content about Python 2 compatibility?

Thanks @souvik3333, I think moving things from the wiki here is a good idea, but looks like the page you moved is not relevant anymore, now that we don't support Python 2.

Closing, but we should remove the page from the wiki (I don't have permissions, or may be it's just that it's not possible in the mobile version).

I was working on issue #30232 and this content was mentioned there. @gfyoung @datapythonista Can you verify the other content of the list in the issue description?

I think we want the Imports (aim for absolute) section and maybe more.

[simonjayhawkins]

I think you can remove all but this section. (retain as subsection of Code Standards)

[simonjayhawkins]

could remove this

[simonjayhawkins]

only py3.6+ is supported, so I think we can remove this too

[simonjayhawkins]

@souvik3333 I think the additions here should be added to doc/source/development/contributing_code_guide.rst once #30129 is merged

[datapythonista]

Closing this, since all the Python 2/3 documentation is not useful anymore. @souvik3333 as said, once #30129 is merged, you can add a section about the imports there. Thanks!
