I'm getting the distinct impression that this is a political matter, rather than a technical matter. No wonder the responses have been incomprehensible. Here's an idea that echos your own: If you wish to pursue this outcome further, please take it to the issue tracker for your preferred Linux distribution and convince *them* that all the software they provide should be ported to Python 3. If multiple Linux distributions agree that it is no longer valuable to support Python 2, then that will add weight to your argument that there is little reason to fix its bugs, and that Python 3 is actually useful. ---------- type: enhancement -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28670> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
