- 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.
