And what was he supposed to say? Here comes some arrogant jerk, without any history in the project and announces that "Calibre needs to convert to Python 3" without offering any help or solution. Considering how big project Calibre is, Kovid's response was quite logical, it was easier to maintain Python 2 version. Later with actual contributors to the cause of migrating Calibre to Python 3 it became feasible.

- andoriyu 6y agoWell, all distros going to remove python2, so need to convert it to python 3 isn't "Here comes some arrogant jerk, without any history in the project". That's on top that python 3 was out for quire some time, the fate of python 2 was known. There is no point in maintaining python 2 compatibility.
- int_19h 6y ago"I'm going to maintain Python 2 myself once it's EOL, rather than port to Python 3" is not a logical response. Python is way bigger than Calibre.
