I am more worried about the confusion than Guido is. I agree that this will remain a toy project. But as someone who trains scientist to use Python and consults with large companies with large Python 2 codebases, I think the very existence of a thing called "Python 2.8" will serve as a pretext for managers to drag their feet further on migration plans... Ultimately hurting their own business, but that becomes harder to explain.

I expect it will be tough to port libraries from Python 3 reliably because it is not true Python 3 (e.g. str/bytes). So then it's just a toy. Who cares about having 'async def' if there's no backport of asyncio? -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev at python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ mertz%40gnosis.cx -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
