⚠️ End of Life: Python 2 Support Dropped & Branch Deprecated

Python 2.x has been deprecated for over 6 years, yet pyLoad continued to support it with v0.4.x until now. It's time to move on.

This branch has now reached end-of-life.
There will be no further updates, bug fixes, security patches, or new features here.

Why This Change?

• Python 2 reached official end-of-life on January 1, 2020.
• Continuing support held back modern improvements and compatibility with current Python ecosystems.

Please Migrate to pyLoad-ng (v0.5.x) Version

Switch to the main / develop branch for ongoing development:

• pyLoad-ng repository: main

Recommended Ways to Install the Latest pyLoad-ng Version:

1. Install via pip (https://pypi.org/project/pyload-ng/)
2. Use Docker Image from Linuxserver (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pyload-ng)
