*dances a happy dance* Thanks Terry for posting the message, thanks Guido for drawing a line in the sand and sticking with it, and thanks to all the core devs who have worked so hard to keep the transition from 2 -> 3 as gentle as possible. Like Python 1 before it, Python 2 has been a wonderful language to work with, but it is long past time to move on to Python 3. Or pay for the support. We can only ask volunteers for so much. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
