Your kinda comparing simple basic api in perl vs likely more complicated python code here aren't you? If you had a set of single simple python functions maybe

    Python 3 came out 14 years ago, and changing the syntax of one function wasn’t even a big deal then. Literally a 10 minute code search to fix a project. It might be time to move on…

      It was literally months to fix every change in every project and to fix all the issues coming from that. ("print" wasn't the only change in 2->3) Our codebase is was (and is) old, but the forced change came recently, when ubuntu decided to remove python 2 support (ubuntu 20.04?). And when ubuntu decides that they want python >=3.12 as the only version installed, this means another change and more work to fix stuff that worked just fine.
