Using both Python 2 and 3 in Windows
You know what? I appreciate the authors drill-down into the &quot;how&quot; of this issue but I&#x27;d like to focus on the &quot;why&quot;.<p>Why, has it taken so long to get off of python2.x- noted I understand that a few libraries <i>cough</i>twisted<i>cough</i> have been holding projects back that depend on them. But I haven&#x27;t wrote a single block of code in half a decade that wasn&#x27;t python 2.x and python 3.x compatible.<p>At what point will we exclusively be developing on 3.x? I&#x27;m quite tired of the apologists claiming that making&#x2F;maintaining things in 2.x is totally fine. At the very least you could run a pass of `2to3` (which is generally quite mature today) before claiming that it&#x27;s difficult&#x2F;impossible&#x2F;too time consuming.
