Glyph Lefkowitz added the comment: Just my 2ยข here: rather than debating cases in the abstract, it would be interesting to 'pip install' a couple of popular 2.x-only packages and see if the error message is an improvement.
My experience is that learners don't hit this so much by writing their own code wrong, but by loading a dependency with incorrect metadata on the wrong Python. (Which suggests to me that a URL in the error message telling you how to download a different version of Python would be very helpful as well.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21669> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
