It is pretty obvious there is a problem when your quick and easy cheat sheet is a 33 page tomb. If only Guido and company would acknowledge the problem and fix it instead of putting their fingers in their ears pretending Python 2 will cease to exist in 2020.
- wnoise 10y agoThey acknowledge the problem, and their solution is to stop actively aiding and abetting the people who are continuing to make it worse by writing python 2 code.
- nomel 10y agoWow, what a simplification. What about us who have and want to use massive libraries of existing Python 2 code? "Just upgrade your libraries!" is not realistic for everyone, especially those who have to justify a mostly idealogical conversion to a similar language, and spend real time and money, outside of actually developing the end product, to do it. Four more years of official support is a long time.
- takeda 10y agoSomeone suggested Cython to compile python 2 code as modules and import to python 3. Did not try it, but that sounds plausible.
