So development on the author’s Molecular Modeling Toolkit will stop, I see that. But it sounds like these older packages can still be used, it’s just that scientists can’t blindly run everything on the same python installation. But with pyenv/virtualenv, or dockerized versions of python2, it should be perfectly possible to keep using them for a very long time. For the same reason, the author’s comment that scientific python scripts tend not to be usable after 5 or more years seems not entirely accurate. However, it wom’t be possible to use them together in the same project with modern python3 code. So that’s bad. I wonder whether one option is to create a dockerized version of the library runnng against python2 and the write a serialization/deserialization layer allowing the old API to be implemented in python3?
