            Bug ID: 6492
           Summary: Remove or update "version 2.7" parenthetical in Python
                    requirement on Downloads page
           Product: Mercurial project
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: website
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org

Mercurial has officially supported Python 3 since version 5.2, which came out
in late 2019, over a year ago. The Downloads page
(https://www.mercurial-scm.org/downloads) still emphasizes "version 2.7" as a
requirement. (This was originally done to indicate a deprecation of Python 2.6
support.)

This note is currently tripping people up (see
https://www.boringcactus.com/2021/02/22/can-we-please-move-past-git.html). It
should either be removed, or updated to reflect the actual supported versions.
