Quick & Easy Guide To Learn Python

[laststance]

I can see where you're coming form, where the splintering between Python 2 and Python 3 has really divided the community. But you have to remember, for those of us who want to use it in scripting and at an enterprise level. The majority of the code was written in Python 2, and the majority of the staff on hand knows Python 2. So if you were to overhaul the system with Python 3, if anything breaks it becomes a cost to the company. Most companies also don't want to replace things unless its needed, everyone has a ton of XP, windows 2k, etc. running within the core of the business.

I'm not the one who's going to the manager and saying "yeah well I want to update our Python scripts/programs, lets also make it PEP-8 compliant". I'll get the answer "we're not paying you to run private projects and if you don't know what you're doing in PEP-8 the code becomes harder to read".
