-1 on hiding Python 2.7. It's our LTS release, so something we should be proud of until it goes out of support. +1 on emphasizing the 3.6 button and de-emphasizing 2.7, e.g. by making the 3.6 button yellow and the 2.7 grey. Also +1 on what Paul suggested. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Jan 26 2017) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Database Interfaces ... http://products.egenix.com/ >>> Plone/Zope Database Interfaces ... http://zope.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
