Several posters indicate that they’ve stuck to python 2.7 even for small side projects until now. I cannot understand why? Python 3 seems to have been technically superior for a few years, and side projects must surely be good for learning something new?
- CJefferson 9y agoI distribute python programs. Macs only have Python 2 by default.
- wyclif 9y agoBut surely that's not stopping anyone. As someone above said, just use pyenv to run Python 2.7x and Python 3. It's not as if anyone has to settle for using only legacy Python.
