Python 3 has no benefits if your Python 2 code works and many dependencies are not Python 3 compatible yet. Why would a company even port to Python 3?

- jsmeaton 12y agoThere aren't that many dependencies without py3 support anymore. Of course, if your project uses any then being stuck on py2 is a given. I still don't think projects should port to python 3 unless they need to be moved forward or continually developed. Greenfield projects should most definitely start on py3 though.
- duaneb 12y ago...because Python 2 has a shorter lifetime and shitty unicode/string support (compared to 3).
