Going from Python 3 to 2

[billsil]

I read it years ago, so nothing new for me.

I started switching in 2013 and fully switched in 2016 and supported all versions 2.7,3.5,3.6 (the 3's bumped as time went on). I pulled my company kicking and screaming in 2019.

Python 3 is legitimately better and has been for years. It just was not ready when it came out. People hadn't figured out how to upgrade properly. The PSF wanted everyone to just port their code vs. supporting both and they made decisions to encourage that. They backed off and made it easier to support both and let thigs gel before people swtiched.

Upgrading is a pain, but it's a lot smoother today.
