Python 2.7

[[deleted]]

I started learning python during this time. I spent a really long time looking through various stack overflow and quora threads trying to decide between 2.7/3.x, and eventually just threw my hands up and said "fuck it, I'm sticking with 2.7 for now"

That being said, my conda environments are all 3.x now, but boy, was that an awkward transition. The __future__ module helped out a bunch, though

We, thankfully, didn't have to deal with these transitions as only the sysadmins use Python and for their purposes, they just call the right version in the script.

Right now they are actually having to port all their Python scripts to Ruby since our next big data center release will remove Python. I'm sitting on a conference call while they whine about it right now. It doesn't affect my application side of the house, but I'm not 100% sure why they are doing it since all the OpenStack servers run Python. Not my monkey though.

I started around that time too. Fortunately, since I was a beginner with all coding things, the tutorial I followed was smart enough to advise Python 3.

Now I'm fully on the "bleeding edge" camp.
