Re: Is python2 dead?
Hal Murray via devel : > Really really dead? Or maybe just hiding in some dark corner? Python 2 was end-of-lifed on 1 Jan 2020. It looks pretty dead from where I'm sitting, but I'm aware that people who run RHEL have a different opynion. > Should we drop support for python2 as part of the next release? > Or announce in the next release that we will drop it as part of the following > release? The policy I havee for my projects these days is that I leave the poly machinery in place untiil I want to do something Python 3 specific, then I drop it. I would be OK with your second alternative. -- http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S. Raymond ___ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org https://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Is python2 dead?
Thanks. Maybe it's time to switch to Go? How long would it take us to rewrite, from scratch, everything in ntpclients? I occasionally poke around in ntpq. I find it very hard to work with. I think the others are much simpler. Is the basic structure right? If we were starting from scratch, what would pylib look like? -- These are my opinions.
