Hello everyone - I just wanted to give plenty of notice that we will be dropping support for Python 2 in IMP in a few months. As you are undoubtedly aware, Python 2 was officially retired several years ago, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to support it. Thus, when RedHat Enterprise 7 (which still ships with Python 2) reaches end-of-maintenance on June 30th 2024, we will drop Python 2 support in the next stable IMP release.

Likely at this time we will also drop the legacy Mac .dmg installer, which only supports the older x86_64 Macs anyway (we recommend using conda or Homebrew to get IMP on a Mac).

If this would cause a lot of issues with your own workflows and for some reason you cannot move to Python 3, please let me know or update the relevant GitHub issue: https://github.com/salilab/imp/issues/1092
