Well i admit my speculation may be leading to an undesirable conclusion, but i can *ONLY* speculate utilizing the facts that are publicly available to me. If we want to prevent rumors, then we need to ensure that *ALL THE FACTS* are available for review. > I have a contrary hypothesis based on the facts quoted > below. As far as I know, Google is somewhat stuck on 2.7. So you're suggesting that GvR *WILLINGLY* left a global, and well established giant, to work for a tiny start-up because his bosses refused to switch from Python2 to (his new baby) Pyhton3? So, let me get this strait: he wasn't fired, *HE QUIT*??? I wonder if he's considered the possibility that Google may swoop in an purchase Dropbox at some time in the near future, and he could find himself working for google once again. And you know what would be the ultimate form of irony, if they forced him to migrate Dropbox *BACK* to Python2! And here is the sign that they will post on his new office door: AND YOU WILL *KNOW* THAT GOOGLE IS THE *LORD*, WHEN WE TRANSFORM YOU FROM A PETULANT LITTLE ENGINEER, INTO AN OBEDIENT LITTLE CODE MONKEY! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
