James E. King, III commented on THRIFT-4309:
--------------------------------------------
I found a site that discourages the use of the faux print method:
https://triangle717.wordpress.com/tutorials/python/2a3printinput/
Specifically,
"Finally, you can use the faux print function in Python 2 added specifically to
help port code from 2 to 3. I advise to stay away from this at all costs,
unless you are 120% sure nobody will run attempt to your script on a really old
version of Python."
Now I don't believe we specifically limit the implementation to Python 2.7,
however I would have no problem setting that minimum bar if it had other
benefits. That said, I don't use python that much, and would appreciate more
input on the pull request.
> All Python files should be compatible with Python 3
