+Pure Python implementation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+The extension module in msgpack (``msgpack._cmsgpack``) does not support
+Python 2 and PyPy.
+
+But msgpack provides a pure Python implementation (``msgpack.fallback``)

+
+Since the [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/) uses the pure Python implementation,
+Python 2 support will not be dropped in foreseeable feature.
