Python 2 and Python 3 are effectively different languages in the way that VB and C# are different languages. Does it seem strange that some people code in VB when C# exists? Python 3 isn't just a little bit incompatible in a few places, it

Technically, you can only DM people who follow you. Whether you follow them is irrelevant. Twitter is a pub sub model, it doesn't really make sense to want to sub but not sub. Twitter follows aren't like friendships at all, they're a "I wan
