I am honestly confused how anyone could code themselve up into that python2 only corner. With the release of python2.6 and python3 in 2006, it was clearly described what one had to do to write upwards-compatible python2 code. 2006. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/ No one had to have any problems with the transition. If they did, they had to willingly ignore the in-your-face documentation on the migration process.

But they did, and they will always do at every turn... I am not against making something not backwards-compatible. I am in favor of throwing old, bad things away even at the risk of having to rework some stuff... But how crazy legacy is at every damn company is just making it so frustrating. They will happily just wait it out for 14 years and then complain about their Python2 being desupported
