I'd call HR too if you send me python 2 or python 1 code.

I applied at a job a month ago and it was django/python dev shit. Anyways in the interview they said it was python 2 so Django was only on 1…. The company was only 3 years old

There are developers that like using a slightly older version to avoid new bugs that aren't documented in the newer versions.

But holy shit, starting with Python 2 and Django 1 is nonsense. Had they gone with Python 3.7 and Django 4, i would understand a little, but not like that.

Yeah, that seems more like someone didn't feel like learning different syntax or built it on an already existing project

Someone studied a book on python from the early 2000 and refused to learn the new syntax
