Re: [Discuss] MXNet Python 2 Support Deprecation

2019-07-19 Thread Chaitanya Bapat
+1 definitely.

Going forward,
MXNet repo as it stands has ~95,000+ lines of Python code [1]
OpenEdx has a million (10x) LOC and this mammoth effort of porting from
Python 2 to 3 is treated as a separate project named Incremental
Improvement. [2]
We can take inspiration from them and have a similar effort by calling
action from the community. Issues can be maintained in a separate JIRA
board to track high priority tasks.

Also, I can see gluon-nlp adding themselves to the Python3 statement. Once
the vote passes, one of us could submit a PR to add MXNet as well.

Re: [Discuss] MXNet Python 2 Support Deprecation

2019-07-18 Thread Marco de Abreu
Looking at EOL is certainly a good idea! I think once we get closer to
deprecation, we can check adoption statistics to make a well-informed
decision that gives us the most advantages without dropping the ball on a
majority of users (or supporting a branch that is going EOL soon). A survey
from 2018 [1] determined the following distribution:
3.5: 11%
3.6: 54%
3.7: 30%

Deprecation for 3.5 is scheduled for 2020-09-13 [2]. Deprecation for 3.6 is
scheduled for 2021-12-23 [2].Deprecation for 3.7 is scheduled
for 2023-06-27 [2].

Following the trend, I'd say that it would be a decision between Python 3.6
and 3.7. Later on, I'd propose to check recent surveys and also have a
separate thread to determine if there's anything we're missing (e.g. a big
company being unable to use Python 3.7). What do you think?

Best regards,
Marco

I would suggest supporting Python 3.5+ since the earlier versions have
reached end-of-life status:

This would simplify CI, reduce costs and more. I think a followup
question is what would be the mininum Python3 version supported?
Depending on that we might be able to use type annotations for example
or other features.
