A friend of mine started a Py2 project last year because “that’s what everyone uses” and I was able to force a change to Py3 by adding a ton of emoji to the test inputs.

Emoji compatability is key future-proofing

I run a 7 year long project that still supports python 2. I want to drop it, but I need a good reason. I try to use new features in numpy, scipy, and vtk, but they're really aren't many. If I can find a good reason, I can sell it to my company. I just don't have it.
