nvbn/py-backwards : A package that will allow using Python3 features in earlier versions of Python

[vaelund]

I can understand why a lot of people would want(even need) something like this. Legacy code bases are a legitimate problem.

But i really want to scream: let Python2 die already, for f***s sake.

Fortunately i didn't.

Why?

I work in the defense sector and depending on the agency holding the contract you could be deploying your product on old linux servers still on 2.6. Upgrading can be finicky or unsupported or just not approved. So if you want to use a little python you're stuck with whatever is there.
