> Oh please. The EOL on python2 has been massively pre announced. Nope, not when new versions of software comes out with Python 2 still, (can't do anything about those licences bought) small studios cannot afford moving/rewriting tools in P2 to 3, not a priority, rather keep P2.

Then complain to the companies you license software from for continuing to build on a soft-deprecated platform. Don't complain to developers for ignoring a platform whose deprecation was announced over a decade ago. And certainly don't badmouth people who are using the not-deprecated tool as being ok with unstable infra.

  > Then complain to the companies you license software from for continuing to build on a soft-deprecated platform. You think we haven't been doing this? We had a representative from one of these vendors come in to discuss their roadmap, they told us straight up that "We still intend to keep using Python 2". > Don't complain to developers for ignoring a platform whose deprecation was announced over a decade ago. Yes, because web dev is the hot tech stuff now, nobody wants to work in a boring sector, so they are not willing to change anything, cycle continues. > And certainly don't badmouth people who are using the not-deprecated tool as being ok with unstable infra. I read this sentence twice and I still don't understand what you're trying to say, clarify?

    > Yes, because web dev is the hot tech stuff now, nobody wants to work in a boring sector, so they are not willing to change anything, cycle continues. Change what? You're asking for...what exactly? People to provide support for a deprecated platform? That just encourages those companies you're complaining about to continue to use python2 and further splits the ecosystem. No!

      > Change what? You're asking for...what exactly? People to provide support for a deprecated platform? Instead of trying to put words in my mouth and being hostile, try to address my concerns. What I mean is that nobody that is a dev wants to work in a slow boring sector, Which means no work gets done to Python 3 on the vendor side hence, studios like ours keep developing on it. Nothing changes and no choice other than leaving.
