Has anyone seen a recent survey of which version of python developers are starting projects with?
- Scarblac 7y agoI haven't heard of anyone starting a new project in 2 in several years.
- judge2020 7y agoSee: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2019/python/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2019/python/
- loeg 7y agoIt's probably worth considering the number of former Python developers who were bit by this or other breaking changes in 3.x and have moved on from the language entirely.
- pensatoio 7y agoI start every project on the latest widely compatible release. atm, that's 3.7 or 3.8. Once you're using containers, shared build tooling, and enforcing linting/testing, the version you use doesn't matter as much, imo. Unless you're using an advanced feature that's still developing (rare..only seen it a few times), most projects can upgrade minor version with zero codebase changes. Just lock a new environment, format code, and push to CI.
