Python 2.7 only is a no-go for me.
- mark_l_watson 10y agoI am not a Python developer, but I do use Python occasionally. Is Python 2.7 requirement really a big deal for mostly using other people's code (adding a bit of your own application layer code)? I use Anaconda and just have different environments for 2.7 and 3.x, TensorFlow or spaCy, or NLTK, etc. Really easy to switch to the environment I need.
- ganfortran 10y agoIt is more about ideology. The 3.x is catching up, but still not fast enough as the community wants it to. But 2.7 is here for a reason, and shaming people that used 2.7 to push 3.x adoption, in my opinion is a bad practice.
