Have Jython and IronPython reached compatibility with Python 3 yet? Last I checked they hadn't, or it was still in alpha.

Have Jython and IronPython reached compatibility with Python 3 yet? Last I checked they hadn't, or it was still in alpha.
- pjmlp 9y agoI don't know, but Python 3 still isn't relevant to many people. For example, I have to explicitly install 2.7 to be able to use Cocos2d-x build scripts.
- weberc2 9y agoMaybe, but it seems like a bad idea to invest in Python 2 (which is teaching is ended of life) just to get parallelism when there are other programming languages that have great concurrency stories and a bright future. That said, if PyPy3 ditches the GIL, let me know!
- throwaway7645 9y agoSomeone posted an article awhile back...people are moving over by a significant amount now.
- sli 9y agoYeah, "not relevant to many people" is a wildly false claim. If it were anywhere near true, we wouldn't see the level of Python 3 support that we have in the major packages (95.8%). http://py3readiness.org/ http://py3readiness.org/
- throwaway7645 9y agoYes, but ain't nobody really using Jython or IronPython. Yes some people are, but I'd bet a very small group of the greater Python whole. You also introduce incompatibilities that way. Perl6 has this in the base implementation, so I don't have to switch to a lesser maintained distribution.
