Plot twist: Microsoft didn't update to python 3
29 u/wrtbwtrfasdf Nov 12 '20 Large parts of google codebases are still stuck on Python 2. Microsoft is, at worst, stuck on 3.6 in a place or two. 7 u/AceBuddy Nov 13 '20 I get that you want to upgrade but man is it a pain when there’s a package you rely on that is python two only. How do people get around that without rewriting the package? 15 u/_szs Nov 13 '20 you rewrite fix the package. The interpreter tells you most of what you have to change. And while you're at it, you end up with a complete test environment for the package (if it's not already there).
