I'm rather the opposite: I ignore anything ignoring Python 3. That's the only version of Python I can bother touching these days.

- dismantlethesun 9y agoAh for context, the article only means the the regex module had limited updates until Python 3. Which is to say that it is presumably much better in Python 3.
- WaxProlix 9y agoThe article seems to be saying that it didn't need to change much at all to be Py3 ready.
- RUTHLESS_RUFUS 9y agoIt is official; Netcraft confirms: Python 2.7 is officially dead. One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Python 2.7 community when josteink confirmed that he would not be bothering to touch anything older than Python 3 code. All major surveys show that Python 2.7 has steadily declined in market share. 2.7 packages are very sick and their long term survival prospects are very dim. If legacy Python is to survive at all it will be among trolling dilettante dabblers. 2.7 continue to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Python 2.7 is dead. FACT: Python 2.7 is dying.

- RUTHLESS_RUFUS 9y agoYes, ha, I was just taking the piss. It's an old Slashdot trope to declare things dead by Netcraft survey.
