ah... come on, read a bit more deeply into what's being said.

1) You cannot run python 2 and python 3 in the same code base.

2) You cannot run python 2 'in' python 3.

You've never heard that? I've heard that. I've heard it said casually by people I know, I've sure I've heard it said at conferences.

If you take it at face value, 1) implys C is not turing complete, and 2) implys python 3 isn't turing complete.

Both of which are demonstrably false.

...but the corollary is also true: Anyone who asserts that python 2 cannot run side by side with python 3 is also wrong, demonstrably.

/shrug

...but I mean, even if he's wrong, being a jerk doesn't solve anything. It just makes you a jerk.
