How about a fortune 300 company I consulted for that uses python pretty much exclusively for the deployment processes of their 200+ web/cloud apps? Some of those apps have 1 VM plus a DB and a dozen users. Some have environments that cost £30k a month and 5k users. Python is the only language used for CI/CD. Plus power shell for stuff that needs windows server.
70% is python 2, 30% written/rewritten recently is python 3.
- josefx 3y ago> 70% is python 2 I hope they are paying for security updates since python 2 has hit EOL 3 years ago and libraries had been actively shamed if they didn't drop support for it long before that.
- Roark66 3y agoNope, not for python 2, but there was tracking of published vulnerabilities. None that were discovered during my time there affected existing python 2 code. Python 2 code is being transitioned to 3 and there is a plan to do so for all of it, but it's definitely not a highest priority task. Usually done when new features are requested. This isn't ideal, but it's not a reason to panic. None of the code is externally facing, none of it accepts user input directly beyond a press of a button in third party software that triggers it. All it does is pretty simple stuff. Infrastructure provisioning etc.
