Maybe what it means is that Python3 is just fine, but Google App Engine isn’t seeing a lot of development/improvement lately, that it’s just in maintenance mode. Imagine that, Google not finishing/maintaining something.

I wish amongst the periodic maelstroms of Python2 vs Python3 handwringing, people would look at the new project starts. When I work with someone’s old library that they’ve moved on from, I use python2 if I have to, but anytime I can, I use python3.

Personally, I wish they’d start python4, sure would take the heat out of the 3 vs 2 debates. And maybe there’d be a program called twentyfour as a result.
