#python2

If my Google BigQuery is right, it looks like July 2017 was the best month ever for #Python2 (according to #PyPI downloads) and after a short plateau, its chart is now falling at an insane rate 📉

Some people want to throw a party when #Python 2.7 expires at the end of the year. I won't be one of them. The pain inflicted on existing users will be real. Some of the wonderful 2.7 ecosystem will be lost forever. That said, 3.8 will be excellent too.

#Python2.7 was an excellent release and it took many, many iterations for Python 3 to catch-up. Arguably, 3.6.1 was the first release that was better than 2. When 3.8 arrives, it will be a clear, all-around winner.

I just upgraded my Dell XPS 13 to #Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) 🐅 which has #Python3 by default. 🐍 The python included in the base system is Python 3.8. 🚀 #Python2 has been moved to universe repository and is not included by default in any new installs. 🎉 CC @Ubuntu @ThePSF

We had a script written on #python2, now need to convert to #python3 to run eye tracking experiment. Thanks to @peerherholz advice to use #2to3 that reads py2.x source code & applies 'fixers' into py3.x code! Horray, save the efforts for 'spot the difference across 550lines' 🧵

We now have 44 projects that pledged to drop #python2 in less than 30 months. Some already did ! To see which one, and how to migrate with as few disruption as possible for both Python 2 and 3 users head to

New roadmap for MDAnalysis development include retiring #python2 support. Release 1.0 (~1st quarter 2020) will be the last with Python 2.7. MDA 2.0 (~2nd quarter) will be Py3 only. (release dates aspirational...)

Pygame 2.0 has been released, and it's mostly fully backward compatible, plus still supports Python 2. Congratulations, Pygame! #python #python2 #python3 #pygame #100daysofcode #gamedev #nlogn #programming

Folks - I'm back with another blog and this time it's about my recent experience on migrating a Python 2 project to Python 3. Do give it a read and feel free to share any feedback you might have. Blog Link - #Python2 #Python3 #Migrations #Learnings

For everyone wondering, yes now is a good time to move from #Python2 as it will no longer be receiving security updates. #Python #EOL

I can't believe how much things have changed in the last decade. 2009: print "test" 2019: print("test") #2009vs2019 #Python2

#Python2 support is going away soon. Make the move to #Python3.
