You say: "The point is that there are those who use Python 2 and don't
want to move to Python 3, claiming that it's easier to switch from
Python 2 to some other language than from Python 2 to Python 3. That's
what seems questionable."
And I say, forcing people to do things they do not want to do is a
little more questionable. There are reasons, why people "don't want to
move to Python 3". Maybe you should concentrate more on developing
Python 3 a little more attractive then in burning witches?
But for my part, this discussion is ended, it does not lead to anything.
At least in this point I agree with Chris.
Cheers, have a good time

Thank you for sharing this remarkable information!
You've quoted him partially and incorrectly. He said "Everyone claims
that it's easier to move to <some other language> rather than to
migrate to Python 3, and I'm calling people's bluffs now."
The point is that there are those who use Python 2 and don't want to

Chris,
you seem to imply, that I have compiled said versions without reason
and
that the same would be possible on basis of Python 3 - which is
simply
not true. Maybe you are not enough acquainted with Qt and belonging
libraries alike PyQtGraph. Maybe you are just not willing to see /
accept these arguments.
By the way, some months ago I started trying to migrate to Python 3
and
gave up in favor of creating said compilation. Compatibility of
Python
and its Packages decreased with V3 significantly. A whole lot of
minor
and major incompatibilities between your subversions and belonging
packages. This was one reason, why Java took the route to its own
death.
FUD. Lots and lots of FUD. More reasons to not promote your
distribution. Use it if you will, but it doesn't merit any further
visibility.
With a view to the mid and long term future, this discussion even
gives
me cause to ponder about whether it doesn't make more sense to rely
more
on C# and WinForms for professional projects from now on. I am
fluent in
both too and it always makes sense to bet on the right horse at an
early
stage.
If you prefer, go for it. Everyone claims that it's easier to move to
<some other language> rather than to migrate to Python 3, and I'm
calling people's bluffs now. Go ahead and move to another language if
it's easier - it's no skin off my nose.
Or maybe it isn't easier, and that's just an empty argument. Funny
how
it keeps coming up.
