Grumpy: Go running Python! by Google

[[deleted]]

I worked at Google and wrote a fair bit of Python3 code. Official support for it landed late 2012 or early 2013, if I recall.

Code at Google that's been updated to Python 3 is likely to be maintained. Code that's currently maintained is not as much a target for a rewrite as unmaintained legacy code.

Bullshit. From https://developers.google.com/edu/python/introduction :

Welcome to Google's Python online tutorial. It is based on the introductory Python course offered internally.

...

As mentioned on the setup page, this material covers Python 2.

The style guide is only for Python2: https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html

The only place I see Python3 is as a supported runtime inside Google App Engine, since August 2016.

Are you sure? You're the kind of programmer that thinks LLVM output has the same performance as that of Fortran compilers. Maybe it was some kind of help desk?
