six hit 1.0 in 2011, py3.0 was released in 2008. The point is that the whole py2-3 change was not incremental enough. (We started an ecommerce project right around 3.4, and many, many libs were in shambles, no official py3 support, just random forks on GitHub. The whole Python ecosystem was in a rather sad state. No mypy, no pipenv/poetry/dephell.) All the gashing of teeth spent on the useless flamewars about py2/py3 could have been spent on other things. > Usually after searching for answers for quite a while on Stack Overflow...
