It is incredibly disappointing to me that this seemingly brand-new library is Python-2-only. Why are new libraries being written for a legacy version of the lan

  I'm a Python developer and I still only write in Python 2. I'll sometimes release projects and make them compatible with both Python 2 and 3, but for any personal or professional (non-open source) work I use Python 2. Python 2 still has too much pull. Lots of smaller open source projects and third party libraries use 2, as do little snippets and examples all around the Internet. I've never found a case where a project I wanted to use, modify, or borrow from supported 3 but not 2, but the inverse is unfortunately still quite common. I think Python 3 is a better language over all, but it's easier for me as a developer to keep using what I know will be supported and compatible.
