So it's PSF's fault for not providing a -std=py2 option? I guess that's a sensible way to look at it.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoI would hesitate to call them at fault per se, but yes I think if such an option has been provided, particularly at a fine-grained level so that modules could be moved over piecemeal, we would not have had nearly as much difficulty with this transition. On the one hand, removing some of the pressure would have meant that the old versions stayed around longer, but if the system genuinely works and doesn't hold up the evolution of the overall project, I'm not sure that I see a problem with that.
