I&#x27;ve said it before, I&#x27;ll say it again. When all of the major Linux platforms provide the same pre-built Python 3 packages for the packages I use, I&#x27;ll make the migration. Until then, it&#x27;s just easier to stay on Python 2.<p>Yes, I could build the packages&#x2F;wheels myself. Yes, I could install a compiler on the target machine and let the binaries build from scratch. I won&#x27;t, however, since it&#x27;s a lot of time for remarkably little benefit. Python 2 is still well supported, and is a great language to program in.<p>Yes, Python 3 has cleaned up some of the rough edges of Python 2; but the improvements are still not significant enough to offset the cost of porting libraries and building packages.
