What was your issue with the transition? Basically both are still usable, and python3 is a huge improvement over python2. I used python2.7 for years before switching and realizing python3 is strictly better, but it was nearly seamless transition (sure legacy projects might have a little pain, but how else can you make fundamental language changes?)
- jbay808 7y agoI like the print function style of print, but unfortunately many of the "My First Hello World in Python" tutorials available online broke when the old print was removed. Those tutorials usually don't make a point of saying they're only valid in Python 2, and of course all new users just learning a language for a first time will download the latest version to try. For a new programmer, it can be a very discouraging experience having to debug even your first hello world program even though it perfectly matches the code in the tutorial.
