#2This site has been around for a very long time, but I checked it the other day and was delighted to see that it's almost entirely green now.

#3Nice work everyone! I’d be curious to see what a “Python 2 deprecation” page would look like (although deprecating Python 2 support shouldn’t be the goal of course)

#4Yup at this point there is no reason to not use Python 3 for new projects. What I'm finding actually is that some companies that have their codebase in Python 2 have actually started migrating to Golang rather than Python 3, because of the increased performance benefits.
I'm kind of sad about this, but I think that Golang will eventually replace Python as the go-to back-end server language (maybe even data processing).

For many of the major scientific libraries, the goal is to deprecate Python 2.7 no later than 2020:

I wonder if it's possible to get a time series of the history of that ratio. Would love to plot it to see the adoption curve.

but at the same time, Python is the fastest growing language https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/09/06/incredible-growth-pyth... because of data science and AI, and I don't see Go replacing Python anytime soon in these domains.

#8Clicking around, those that don't seem to be:
1. Obsolete. Either explicitly so (e.g. Google API) or abandoned, without even a minor/patch release (initools, 2010) or in some cases a code commit (e.g. pathtools, 2012) for five years or more. I suspect that they will never be Py3, the community will just move on to alternatives.
2. Working hard to bring support (e.g. ansible).
3. Part of the graphite ecosystem. If the base library won't change, none of its ecosystem will.
4. Not on public version control / issue tracking, so who knows (e.g. supervisord)

#9I notice boto as one of the top items on the list as compatible.
It has many many python3 crash bugs, especially on the MWS side. I have had an open PR for like a year to fix one of them, and it has been ignored.
This makes me not very hopeful that being on the list means anything.
(I am exclusively python3, but I have to wrestle with this a fair bit still)

Sadly not, as graphite-web doesn't yet support python 3.x!
(Which is a shame, graphite is something that always feels older than it should be.)
