See original GitHub issue

Dropping this we can also use plain pip to install PyQt5 and PySide2, getting the latest versions.

As someone in the VFX industry, dropping Python 2.7 would be not great. I realize we can use an earlier version, but some studios are basically locked off the internet, and host their own pip repositories (and may only keep the last version of a package). I know that the industry is moving to Python 3.6+ for 2020. See http://www.vfxplatform.com/ for more information.

However, the industry is either using Qt 5 (and Python bindings) or will be soon, so I’m not sure of many studios that will complain. But dropping Python 2.7 would hurt.
