What makes you think these tools are all going to mysteriously stop working? Python 2.x will be around for a long, long time. Currently there are still Python 1.5 apps that are still in use and circulation and, with Python 1.5 installed, still work fine. The same for Python 2.x. Honestly I don't understand all this FUD over the move to Python 3.x Those that want/need to migrate will. Others won't have to. What's the big deal? Further, 90% of these little, finished utilities are pure python, and so converting them to Python 3.x is a trivial mechanical conversion if the maintainer cared. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
