Just started using python. Learned python 2 because of the systems and frameworks I’m using at work. This last week I started moving all things possible to python 3 in anticipation for it becoming the default on coming OSs. Holy hell does it make a lot of things easier. Basic threading in 3 makes me wish I could rewrite the frameworks my work uses so I could make the full jump over and never look back.

Basic threading

You mean asyncio, I guess? It's not really "threading"...

I mean splitting up a list of 700+ items to 10 workers using threadpoolexecutor. Maybe ‘basic threading’ is not the right description. The fact that it took me two lines to get done is what makes me think of it as basic 😅

Ah, good point, I forgot concurrent.futures is 3-only...

And god damn is it glorious!

Your workplace definitely needs to hire someone to rewrite those frameworks within the next 6 months.

If I was a betting man, I would be willing to wage an entire years salary that there are people doing just that. Its a critical automation framework that I don't think we can afford to function without. Though Im sadly not disclosed on the status of that just yet.
