## Incompatible Changes

**Dropping Python 2 support** - Python 2 support was EOLed on 1 Jan 2020. Nowadays most distributions have full native Python 3 support, with the exception of CentOS 7. On CentOS 7, python 2 is still the default, but Python 3 installation is an easy task. Kea version 1.9.8 dropped support for Python 2 in `kea-shell`. Kea users on CentOS 7 have several options. Users, who want to use `kea-shell` on CentOS 7 should install Python 3 packages. If this is not viable, `kea-shell` will still work with Python 2 for now, but the TLS will not be supported. This partial backwards compatibility is expected to disappear when Kea 2.0.0 is released. The third alternative here is to use different tools or environments. `kea-shell` simply sends JSON commands over HTTPS and prints JSON responses. Such capabilities are available using various tools (such as `curl`, `socat`, `postman`) or scripting environments [#1873].
