- anabranch 11y agoProbably the same reason (or at least somewhat related to) that Google App Engine only supports python 2.7. (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/ https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/)
- eeZi 11y agoBig companies are moving slow, even Google.
- CydeWeys 11y agoPython 2 is used internally at Google, and TensorFlow is, I believe, an open sourcing and nicer packaging of something that has already existed internally for awhile.
