Python versions 2 and 3
=======================

Samba 4.10 is the first release of Samba which has full support for
Python 3.
This release also comes with support for Python 2. However, this will be the
last release which ships with Python 2 support.
The Samba Team doesn't have the manpower to support both Python 2 and
Python 3
versions. From Samba 4.11 onwards support for Python 2 will be dropped. This
means if you use Python 2 bindings it is time to migrate to Python 3 now.
