It's too bad the python 3.x fans can't see this as feedback about how difficult it for users of 2.x to upgrade to the latest and greatest. Many 2.x folks have sprawling code bases and complex operational needs. The 3.x advocates seems to consistently ignore that.
Shoot the 2.8 messenger all you want for choosing to call it Python 2.8, but don't dismiss the issue that drives thoughtful people to get value out of this strategy.
- fatbird 10y agoThe python maintainers and the 3.x fans do see this, and know this, and decided to do it. They knew there would be a cost in community, and decided it was worth it. They haven't been oblivious, and they've made several large concessions in 3.4 and 3.5 to increase the ease of migrating. Stop denigrating them.
