Lack of packages ported to Python 3, one of the main advantages of using Python is a large set of ready to be used packages, so that you can build something very quickly. 2. Performance is same if not less than that of Python 2.7. If i have to rewrite my code, with limited 3rd party packages, resulting in little or no performance gains, i would rather move to CLISP, at least the performance gains would be worth it. And, about the day-to-day work, i have a SAAS application built with Python 3, and the inconvenience it caused without the rewards, made me regret my decision to move to Python 3. It has more to do with the Python 3 ecosystem, rather than the language itself. Python is much more than the language itself, almost any serious Python application makes heavy use of 3rd party packages. -- regards _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
