Often preceded by tl;dr.
- By the time you (Mithrandir, in this case) posted a more in-depth post, the majority had already run to the next news. Also, the... bitching there is completely nonsense. I can't believe they know Linux or even python well enough judging by what they say about developing _difficulties_ because of this move.
Amen to that. It's almost worse than comp.os.linux.advocacy, which gets mostly spam from Wintrolls and Mac fanboys. Very few GNU/Linux users try and take them on there (and with good reason.)
Only reason I go there (HackerNews, Slashdot) is to read what's new in the news, and make a comment or two. Arguing with them does diddly-squat. :(
AFAIK, with python is easy as hell to build a local/virtual environment for any python version... I don't get it. Anyway, nothing to see there for this post, sadly.
Well, *some* programs that worked with Python 2, don't work very well/at all with Python 3. But yeah, it's not usually too difficult to fix it.
