Also keep in mind that not all Python libraries are on PyPI. For non-Python projects with Python bindings (think video players, OpenCV, systemd, Samba), distribution via PyPI doesn't make much sense. And since the Python bindings are usually second-class citizens, the porting doesn't have a high pr

So, I'm more than aware of how to write Python 2/3 compatible code. I've ported 10-20 libraries to Python 3 and write Python 2/3 compatible code at work. I'm also aware of how much writing 2/3 compatible code makes me hate Python as a language. It'll be a happy day when one of the two languages die

I disagree. I know there's a huge focus on The Big Libraries (and wholesale migration is all but impossible without them), but the long tail of libraries is still incredibly important. It's like saying that migrating the top 10 Perl libraries to Perl 6 would allow people to completely ignore all of

Hi all, Last year a survey was conducted on python 2 and 3 usage. Here is the 2014 edition, slightly updated (from 9 to 11 questions). It should not take you more than 1 minute to fill. I would be pleased if you took that time. Here's the url: http://goo.gl/forms/tDTcm8UzB3 I'll publish the result

Remarks heard & form updated. Nathaniel, I'm not sure about that: even if the code is 2- and 3-compatible you'll pick one runtime. 2 others questions now mention writing polyglot code. By the way I published the survey on HN, /r/programming & /r/python: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8730156
