Why This is Important

In mozilla-central there are over 3500 Python files (excluding third party files), comprising roughly 230k lines of code. Most of it is Python 2.[1]

Python 2 will reach it's End Of Life on January 1st 2020. This page collects links and resources to assist the migration of the Firefox ecosystem off of Python 2 and onto Python 3.
