I quote: "...perhaps a brave group of volunteers will stand up and fork Python 2, and take the incremental steps forward. This will have to remain just an idle suggestion, as I'm not volunteering myself." I expect that as excuses for not migrating get fewer, and the deadline for Python 2.7 end-of-life starts to loom closer, more and more haters^W Concerned People will whine about the lack of version 2.8 and ask for *somebody else* to fork Python. I find it, hmmm, interesting, that so many of these Concerned People who say that they're worried about splitting the Python community[1] end up suggesting that we *split the community* into those who have moved forward to Python 3 and those who won't. [1] As if the community is a single amorphous group. It is not. It is made up of web developers using Zope or Django, and scientists using scipy, and linguists using NLTK, and system administrators using nothing but the stdlib, and school kids learning how to program, and professionals who know seventeen different programming languages, and EVE Online gamers using Stackless, and Java guys using Jython, and many more besides, most of whom are sure that their little tiny part of the Python ecosystem is representative of everyone else when in fact they hardly talk at all. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
