Red Hat does this, and will offer support for 2.7 until 2023. But even Red
Hat doesn't offer to support software forever -- Python 2.3 has just
reached end of life with paid Red Hat support earlier this year. Anyone
still using 2.3 now has two choices, keep using it without support, or
upgrade. The same will apply to 2.7 users. It's not like their computer
will suddenly stop running 2.7.

Come 2020 when Python 2.7 stops receiving free support from the core
developers, there's a business opportunity for the 2.7-naysayers. Red Hat
support is Red Hat Enterprise Linux only. There may be paid support from
companies like ActiveState, but that's likely to be Windows only (I could
be wrong about that). So there's the opportunity: in 2020, those naysayers
who are convinced that Python 3 is a mistake can offer paid support on
whatever platforms they like.

Python is open source. Anyone can fork it, and release 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, as
many versions they like. The only thing they can't do is call it "Python
2.8" without agreement from the PSF, which they won't get.

But they won't fork it, for two reasons: Complaining is cheap, actually
maintaining a programming language is hard work. And deep down they know
that a fork will be just a waste of time. This is not like the fork of the
X-11 windowing system a few years back, for all the complaints and whinging
about Python 3 even the nay-sayers know that the world will remain full
behind Guido, the core developers and the PSF, who are all committed to
Python 3.

Let me be frank here: the core developers are committed to making the
process of migrating from 2 to 3 as easy as possible without compromising
Python 3 in any serious manner. E.g. minor cosmetic warts, like the
re-introduction of u"" syntax just for backwards compatibility reasons, may
be allowed, reversing design decisions like strings being Unicode rather
than bytes will not be. But ultimately, people will need to make a choice:

- spend the time and effort and money to migrate from Python 2 to 3;

- spend an order of magnitude more time and effort and money to 
  re-write their applications in another language;

- pay somebody to support Python 2.7 for as long as needed;

- or do without bug fixes and security updates.

If you want bug fixes, security updates AND feature enhancements, for free,
you have have to migrate to Python 3 (or another language). If you're
unhappy with that, write to Oprah, I'm sure she'll listen.

How about FORTRAN IV and FORTRAN 66 users? Where's their support? Why aren't
they moaning and gnashing their teeth that they're so cruelly and
unreasonably forced to upgrade?

Oh well, life wasn't meant to be easy. Fortunately they can run it under
Windows 98 or Centos 3.5 in a virtual machine.

	Most likely, the formal standard document for Fortran still mandates
F77 compatibility -- yet most likely also lists those F77 features which
are deprecated/obsolete and may go away in the next standard. Just as F77
standard listed F-IV features that would be going away in the future.

	Also, being a fully compiled/static language, the compiler can probably
spend the needed time to determine the dialect being used for some
constructs. Python's run-time dynamics may preclude doing that.

	Third -- said compatibility may still require using a compile-time flag
to indicate dialect for some features.

	Heck, at one time the "FORTRAN standard" actually defined two levels of
the language, and the subset level could not compile stuff that was legal
in the full language level. Things like computed arguments in a subprogram
call:

	call xyz(i-1, i, i+1)

could be valid or invalid depending upon which level of the single standard
the compiler followed. I once was involved in an effort that ported an
application in "full" FORTRAN to a machine with the subset level. You
wouldn't believe the number of

inxs, inks, jinx, jynx, jinks, linx, lynx, lyncs etc. junk variables had to
be created:

	jinx = i-1
	lynx = i+1
	call xyz(jinx, i, lynx)

This makes the same false claim "It’s not like anyone is using Python 3 
anyway, (so go ahead and bread existing Py3 code". At least some of the 
20+ million windows downloads must be in use.

One legitimate request is better installation of dependencies, which is 
in progress. This is not a 2 versus 3 issue, unless there are 3-only 
improvement.

Some want concurrency primitives like go has. Guido went for a new 
module instead. I don't know what the importand differences are.

Some want a better REPL, including color. The Idle shell already has the 
syntax colorizing. I don't know what else might have been meant.

> "Python 3 is fine" http://sealedabstract.com/rants/python-3-is-fine/

In my opinion, about the best non-developer blog on Python 3 -- by a 
sensible, satisfied user. "in March 2014 Python 3 downloads overtook 
Python 2 downloads by a healthy margin 54% vs 46%." OK, that was boosted 
by the release of 3.4. But the point still stands.

I just bought a new book on Python, since the one I had borrowed from my son
only dealt with Python 2.3, and everyone told me that was old. 

So I bought this book, and decided that whatever version of Python it deals
with, that's the one I will download and use.

The book is:

Cunningham, Katie. 2014. Teach yourself Python in 24 hours.
               Indianapolis: Sams.
               ISBN: 978-0-672-33687-4
                   For Python 2.7.5

I'll leave Python 3.2 on my computer, but 2.7.5 will be the one I'm installing
now. Even if I could *find* a book that deals with Python 3.x, couldn't afford
to but yet another Python book.

This sounds like remarkably bad advice. That's like saying "I bought a
can of motor oil in my department store and whatever engine that is good
for that's the car that I'll buy and put into!"

Lucky for you 2.7.5 isn't all that different from Py3 and most of it
will apply. You'll be missing out on a bunch of cool features (arbitrary
precision ints, int division operator, real Unicode support) but that's
no big deal.

Johannes

Py2 has them as well (although they are called long). 1 << 300 gives the
right answer in both Py2 and Py3, whether the result is a "long" or an "int".


> int division operator

AFAIR, that was added in Py2.5, so a book about Py2.7 should mention it
somewhere.


> real Unicode support

Now, that is really something that has improved in Py3, and certainly a
reason for many people to prefer Py3 over Py2.

No, it's a bit like flying in a Boeing 747 rather than a Concorde. The latyer
may be later and more technically advanced and flew faster, but no one uses or
supports it.

I'm prepared to forgo whatever advantages those may have to avoid the
frustration of example code not working and not knowing why.

"Conky" is more like Python 1 - nobody uses it now (actually, there
are more people using Python 1.x than flying Concorde), but it had its
place in history.

You're flying in a 747-400, which is fine, but when I want to go to
England, I'd much rather go in a 777-300ER. (And yes, I've flown in
both. Can't remember what model Queenie was, but with the 777s it's
usually an Emirates 300ER.) The 747 is still functional, but no more
functional than its era, and life's a lot better with the newer
aircraft. If you want to start a brand new airline, you won't go for
747s if you can get 777s and A380s for the same price. For those who
have 747s in their fleet, there's no problem - there'll be spare parts
available from the manufacturer until at least donkey's years, and
even after that, you can probably get third-party spare parts from
some ex-Soviet mob (at least, they must be Soviets, why else would
they wear red hats?); but you'll only get the features that were in
the 747s when they were built, plus maybe some minor upgrades to the
ancillary bits and pieces. Sure, you can get some of the fancy
interior pieces that were designed for the 777s (enum, for instance),
but the main hull isn't changing.

So if you want to start a one-man airline (where you're managing the
company, flying the plane, and everything else), do you start by
looking at the relative merits of the 747-400 and 777-300ER and
choosing, or do you poke around in your local second-hand shop for
"Learn To Fly A Jet In Twenty-Four Hours" and see which cockpit it's
showing photos of? There are courses for both types; both aircraft
come with excellent "quick start" guides (see
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ and
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/ ); and everything you want to ask
about either type can be answered by the team of
Boeing-List@Boeing.Org people, any hour of the day or night. All
you're doing is picking your technology on the basis of *one*
dead-tree book that you happen to have found. Is that really the most
important deciding point?

I guess a person starting a one-man airline would be choosing a
7-15 seater and doing short to medium runs.

Are there 7[47]7's in 7-15 seater range <wink>?

And the earlier description of the choice for Word 97 reminded me of one of the 'prophet's' quotes from Illusions:

  <<Argue for your limitations and sure enough they are yours>>

Actually, the Concorde preceded the 747, and wasn't as "technically advanced",
it was just faster.

I recall Barnes Wallis slagging off the droop nose, but what did he know 
about aircraft?

Boeing 747s were in airline service in 1970, Concorde didn't enter service
till 4-5 years later. 

Not that it matters, it was just an analogy. I'm pretty certain that Python
2.x preceded Python 3.x

Clearly you know nothing about the Python time machine :)

Concord first flight march 2 1969 757 First flight Feb 9 1969
so there is not actually that much in it

747 entered service much sooner however

Concorde design started in the early 50s, 747 mid-to-late 60s.

Version 2.7 is a good choice, and it will be around for a long time: it 
will be supported until at least 2020, so you should get many years of 
use from it.

Do not be discouraged about Python 3. There are differences, but they 
aren't so different as to be a major barrier. By the time you have a bit 
of experience with 2.7, you will be more than capable of dealing with the 
differences with version 3. They are not different languages, think of 
them as slightly different dialects of the same language, like UK and 
South African English.

At least Py2 does not crash when using non ascii
(eg sticking with cp1252).

I just noticed this last week, Thursday, when presenting
the absurdity of the Flexible String Representation.

So have you reported this alleged crash bug to the bug tracker? If not,
then you're not contributing to Python or the discussion here in any useful
way; you're just trolling.
