I got real sad that a presentation in 2013 is being written against Python2 syntax still. I do admit I still have to go out of my way sometimes to find a complete p3 stack, but I've never failed to find the tools I needed in versions supporting 3 somewhere.
- Nursie 14y agoUnfortunately there are still a lot of bindings and third party libraries that need python2. Recently I've been playing with python-alsaaudio and python-cwiid on linux, and they both seem to be require python 2. It seems like it's not going to go away any time soon. I'd be surprised if most new work was even being done in python 3, even though it's been out for almost 5 years now.
