Hi there,
I think the fact is:
- There are still considerable amount of people still using python2
- Python2 user will eventually upgrade to python3
So any library not written in a compatible way will either break now for
python2 user, or will break in the future for python3 user. So I suppose all
library developer are writing compatible code, is that a fair assumption?
No. Many people write new libraries only for recent version of Python
3. Many people who have written Python 2 and 3 compatible libraries, or
Python 2 and Python 3 versions of of their library, have or will drop
Python 2 support for enhancements and even bugfixes for their library.
That said, some people will continue to use existing python 2 code for a
decade or more.
