Hmm I’m not sure how to take this comment. The main point of the article is basically that those numbers don’t tell the whole story (even explicitly in footnote 1).
- andrewstuart 11y agoYour post gives the stats some level of credit when really they tell absolutely nothing, or more precisely they tell a tale that is so open to interpretation as to mean nothing at all. There's no gloom around Python 3. Lots of people support it. The highest ever upvoted post on Reddit/r/Python was a post asking to remove training material that asserts that Python 3 is irrelevant. https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/top/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/top/ There must be alot of people who feel positively about Python 3 to vote it up that high, presumably at the same time that the Python 2 diehards are voting the post down. The appropriate message regarding the PyPi stats is not to give gentle credence to them but to condemn them as a completely irrelevant measure of the success or otherwise of Python 3.
