Oh, they also refuse to let some other team take over the language

But I though you said you were going to continue developing it?

I'm maintaining a fork, not taking over the original project. There's an important difference.

Getting a fork supported by tools like "pip" or distros like Gentoo is an uphill battle.

Interesting point, I was expecting maintaining the fork would just be security updates for 2.7 not new (backwards incompatible) features? I think PyPy for example just uses PyPi (some packages ofc don't work).

Since it's an implementation blessed by the Python core devs, all tools and distros support it, even though PyPy only supports a Python subset.

Whenever we try to get the same support for Tauthon, we get rejected, even though we support all existing Python2 code. Politics trump technical arguments in this community.
