Is your budget going at all to maintaining Python 2 or the ancient Django you use? I'm gonna guess not.
- jcelerier 5y agoIf my local electronics shop can still operate fine on win3.1 I'd imagine that there's a fair amount of places where no maintenance at all will be needed
- busterarm 5y agoIf anything, this is the normal state of things in business. We all know about how COBOL is alive and kicking but Python's core team decided that reality doesn't apply to them.
- eli 5y agoSure, IBM will gladly sell you an up-to-date COBOL. Just like someone will gladly sell you an up-to-date Python2. It ain't free.
- VectorLock 5y agoNobody forced the upgrade to COBOL and it still runs just like you can still run whatever old version of Python you're tied to, with the same downsides as if you ran an ancient version of COBOL.
- busterarm 5y agoNo that's the point. It's something that doesn't make sense to spend any more money on. It's a tool that's being replaced but that process takes years. Unfortunately not soon enough before the end of Python 2.
- VectorLock 5y agoPython 2 isn't going to just stop working. You just have to accept the downsides if you're not willing to budget for migrating.
