"Python 3 is happening, and that's the reality. "
Unfortunately, I think what this means is definitely up for debate. Python3, "happening" may be nothing more than a permanent split, not the obsolescence of 2.
In fact, that's what it looks more and more like everyday.
What IS happening, is that libraries are not, will not, and cannot drop 2.7 support. The opposite isn't true and may never be.
- bayesianhorse 12y agoSome libraries will never drop 2.7. I can see why some projects like Django may drop 2.7 in a few years. Django releases tend to break backwards compatibility over time anyway. I don't care either way. My older projects can't be easily upgraded from Django version to version, and my newer Projects start out on Py3k.
