i totally disagree with your view. Python 3 of today is fantastic and the community is fully behind it. Yes there will be legacy code that will remain on python2 for ever, but this is normal. I am personally loving the new features of python 3.6 in particular and would not want to look back. Google has a lot of code in python2 they want to move to go. It would be bizarre to see anyone start a new project in python 2 because of grumpy. Love the python community. The future is python3. Enjoy!

I'm with you. Also, I don't see that Google is going to make a difference with packaging, they have very particular use cases. Grumpy will primarily make a difference for people who think they're Google, I can't imagine it'll be widely adopted.

With due respect, if the community was fully behind Python 3, it wouldn't still be controversial. Clearly it still is. That said, my personal feeling is that with awesome new toys like curio, Python 3 is finally starting to be worth the pain of cutting over.

  > With due respect, if the community was fully behind Python 3, it wouldn't still be controversial. Clearly it still is. Personally, as of PyCon last year, I do not think it's controversial anymore. If anything still doesn't support Python 3, it's at the service, such as AWS Lambda. The libraries have all transitioned by now [1]. [1]: http://py3readiness.org http://py3readiness.org
