- cwyers 6y agoThis is true some places, but it's not true everywhere. It's just that the places stuck on Python 2 often have other disconnects that make them "invisible" on the Internet.
- Izkata 6y agoHahaha no. Much of our code is still v2, with no hint of a transition happening any time soon. It's mostly in maintenance mode. Quick edit: To sibling comment's point, we're not a tech company, so it's very difficult to get this type of work done. It pretty much only happens on new development (where we are using python3), but that new development doesn't replace the old code.
- scoopertrooper 6y agoPython 2 just reached end-of-life with the last-ever update arriving in October this year. So you better get moving soon if your code isn't completely air gapped. https://adtmag.com/articles/2020/01/09/python-2-end-of-life.aspx https://adtmag.com/articles/2020/01/09/python-2-end-of-life.... There are current three outstanding CVEs for the latest version of Python 2. Hopefully, they'll be patched up in the upcoming release, but good luck after that. https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-10210/product_id-18230/version_id-305022/Python-Python-2.7.17.html https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1021...
- iso947 6y agoQuick search to do something on the web and there’s a strong chance it will be python2. Pip install? Or pip3 install? Who knows, whatever you do don’t follow the instructions s to upgrade pip as that breaks Debian and Ubuntu installs. Cpan was always a bit ropey but never this bad.
