Is there a Python 3 version of this?
- venti 11y agoYes, in his talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBfOFqDIAI&t=1355 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBfOFqDIAI&t=1355 Ryan Kelly already showed a Python 3 version of pypy.js
- techdragon 11y agoI was talking with some contributors at PyCon last month and there was a consensus that Python 3 is actually preferable. There's issues to be resolved that are more important than switching the version to 3 so the work is focused on these for now. It boils down to the argument that "if there is no existing Python code relying on Python 2 semantics, why even bother making a Python 2 version, why not skip straight to Python 3 and not introduce the switching problem later?" There's a small matter of the Python 3 version not being the prime target of PyPy but they are updating it and progressing it forward so it's not any kind of roadblock just a little less than perfect.
