My argument was it has not happened yet, earliest it will happen in early 2020, and I would like to keep py2 linting support as long as py2 is supported in the codebase. I understand your argument. Is the following correct for this change: - All py2 syntax errors will still be caught. - There might be linting issues specific to py2 linter that might be missed but that is not harmful. I guess for linting we need a target version in mind. We cannot potentially lint the same code base for different python versions with different rules. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

Doing so will put > pylint into "python3-mode" and there is not an option to run in > python2-compatible mode. That said, the beam code is intended to be python3 > compatible, so in practice, performing a python3 lint on the Beam code-base > is perfectly safe. The primary risk of doing this is that someone introduces > a python-3 only change that breaks python2, but these would largely be syntax > errors that would be immediately caught by the unit and integration tests. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
