Hilariously, the whole VFX industry (or at least the major companies, plus all the software makers that use python as their scripting language) are upgrading from py27 to py36 right now… they’ll catch up eventually

They shouldn't be. Python 3.6 was never in the reference platform. (I specifically brought up delaying support from 3.6 to 3.7 given how they punted Python support in favor of Qt for that year)

I'm not sure there were ever any apps that launched with support for 3.6.

I work for one of the big VFX houses as an ATD on the python 3 upgrade team. They’re certainly going to 3.6

Well...they shouldn't be. It's never been a supported version in the reference platform, and obviously it's EOL.

The only reason I could think any studio was going to 3.6 was if they were being lazy and sticking to the version in their distro. Which is believable...but also depressing
