I'm happy hearing this. I would be interested on whether we are going to
drop Python 2 at some point, or are we stuck with that forever?
Also I'm curious what modern features are the team looking forward to?

Let's put it this way: we still have a few uses of Perl in the build
system. There have been no meani
My only concern about this is how local developer environments are going to
be when it comes to testing. While I am sympathetic to moving to python 3
we need to make sure that all the test harnesses have been moved over and
this is something that needs a bit of coordination. Luckily a lot of the

Also sprach Gregory Szorc:
The requirement will likely be Python 3.5+. Although I would
love to make that 3.6 if possible so we can fully harness modern
features and performance.
Hold your horses with 3.6. Only Python 3.5.3 is at the time of
writing available in the most common Linux distribu

I am not saying it should but if we have a requirement for python 3, we are
also going to have a requirement for py2 to both be available for local
development.

As long as we follow PEP 394, I'm super excited. (including on our
mozilla-build windows system, which counts as 'unix-like')

It would make my heart sing if all python 3 code we write would have
defined types (using mypy in in ./mach lint). It would definitely remove
the feeling of "walking blindfolded" when doing any change with the python
tooling. At least I hope providing types would be allowed if not required.
