As a user of SageCell I don't care whether it runs on Python 2 or 3 but I DO care about it's BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY. Backwards compatibility is (at least for me) a cornerstone of trust in sustainability. When I give out a worksheet for others to use it leaves my control but it takes some of my reputation with it - which breaks if the worksheet stops working for whatever reason. In fact, changing the format of the print statement broke many of my worksheets.
Ultimately, I don't care whether backwards compatibility is achieved through a pre-processor or through a fallback installation. Having said this, I hasten to emphasise my highest appreciation for theSageCell developers and maintainers. In my context I wouldn't have any other system to replace SageCell. Am Freitag, 14.
