The "Wall" is just numbers for Python3, without context for how it compares to Python 2. For 2.7 Pypy reported 419,227,040 downloads for 2016. At the same time, for ALL 3.x versions combined (up to 3.6) there are just: ~52 million downloads. That's 1/8th of the Python 2 downloads.

The PyPy statistics aren't worth much since they're counting all sorts of automated downloads/dependencies/etc. That's why packages like supervisor and graphite - which aren't libraries - are among the top downloads.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to get involved in open source projects like this? The readme mentions adding PRs, but as someone that doesn't have much experience working with open source projects like this, I don't even know where to begin. It sounds like an incredible learning opportunity though.

The first stop is usually a CONTRIBUTING.md Here's theirs https://github.com/google/grumpy/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md There's not a ton there. The next place I'd go is open issues: https://github.com/google/grumpy/issues It looks like at the moment they're mostly random bug reports from people who have tried Grumpy since this announcement, rather than ones filed by people working on Grumpy since before it was made p…

Python 2.7 is EOL in 2020. Make of that what you will :/

The community will fork the 2.7 codebase and continue to support it, even if Python.org EOLs it.

Ugh, sorry about that. There's a couple issues here: 1. Lambda tuple args are not yet supported -- I actually didn't know that was a thing :\ -- https://github.com/google/grumpy/issues/17 2. Even if that worked properly, sorted() is not yet implemented: https://github.com/google/grumpy/issues/16

  def func((a,b)):
      return b

  mytuple = 1,2
  print func(mytuple)

  def func(t):
      a,b = t
      return b

  key=operator.itemgetter(1)

>(Yes, I'm still on Python 2 but moving soon). I'm like really new to programming and I'm still just learning the basics, but I see this little addendum a lot from people who say everyone should be writing Python 3.
