In fact, I would not be surprised (I'm in fact willing to bet that this will happen) if python2 were around for another 20-30 years, perhaps forked off the main python development. Suppressing a language (or a dialect) with a sizeable following is always a pain, and politically explosive, be it a programming or a natural language (for the latter: e.g. despite centuries of efforts of politicians ( :-( ), Celtic languages are still alive, to an extent; Swiss German is alive and well and not going away any time soon, etc...).
Dima PS. as someone who functions in largely foreign language environments for most of my adult life, I am perhaps more aware of this than most people. :-) On Tuesday, May 3, 2016 at 7:50:21 PM UTC+1, Frédéric Chapoton wrote: > > Hello, > > I am trying to move toward using the python3 syntax for print. > > This is done by small chunks, using a lot of tiny tickets, according the > folders in sage, mostly. > These tickets can be found at the bottom of > > http://trac.sagemath.org/query?status=!closed&component=python3 > > If some of you could find time to review one of those, that would help to > advance the change. > > Many thanks to those that have already reviewed some of these. > > cheers, > Frederic > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
