The survey has 75% of users on python 3 in 2017, when a good half of popular libraries still didn't support python 3 at all.
It's clearly skewed toward devs on the bleeding edge.
- black3r 6y agoI mostly use Python for web development and I've stopped using Python 2 for that with 3.5, so in early 2016, but I do remember that some machine learning or data analysis tools were stuck on Py2 for a little longer. I definitely wouldn't say that half of popular libraries in general didn't support python 3 at all back then, but for some use cases that may have been true tho.
- rbanffy 6y ago> good half of popular libraries still didn't support python 3 I don't know where you took your number from, but I don't think that's the case anymore. Also, a lot of once-popular libraries were succeeded by now-popular libraries that run with Python 3.
