I've been programming with Python since 2006, I think most of the systems were based on 2.4 at the time. I've been one of those who switched to Python 3 somewhat late, waiting for some major libraries to ship python 3 packages - celery and Twisted were one of the biggest holdouts - so I remember that the first project where all my dependencies were ready for python 3 was around 2015.
This is to say: even seasoned developers who were conservative around the migration have spent more time working with Python 3 than Python 2. There simply is no reason anymore to be talking about python 2.
- kstrauser 2y agoThe last time I touched a large Py2 project was in 2018 when I ported it to Py3. So, I have 18 years of Py2, probably 6 years of overlap, and 7 years of pure Py3. That means I still have a lot more Py2 than Py3 time. Buuuttt, I'm so over the transition. It’s ancient now and I agree that we can stop fretting about it.
