Maybe this is a joke, and then I'd say it's pretty neat one. I mean, just look at that, what other language got a similar problem of that scale! And let's not pretend it all passed and we are happily moving forward: this year (this month, actually) I've seen very prominent NN-course, suggesting Python 2.7 for all assignments and code samples, and quite useful library (also NN-related), supporting 2.7 only. I guess, some of mitsuhiko's (Ronarcher's) developments didn't move to 3.* as well.
So, yeah, IPython dropping 2.7 is pretty huge. Almost like moving to a different language.

- krick 10y agoSilly or not, but it's still very common mindset with scientific-oriented people (who care about ML, econometrics, statistics and such much more than "programming" per se), who form a quite notable category of Python users. Actually, for me they are the reason why I'm still using Python a lot (although I try to stick to 3.x), because for other use-cases, like scripting or web-dev I mostly (but not completely) moved to other languages.
