<div dir="ltr">After Django 1.11 (alpha 1 out now, final in few months, LTS EOL 2020) was branched out from master on GH, it was pretty impressive & heartening to see massive commits against master that removed Python 2 compatibility from such a popular library.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 26, 2017 at 10:11 AM, Victor Stinner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:victor.stinner@gmail.com" target="_blank">victor.stinner@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
The download button of <a href="https://www.python.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.python.org/</a> currently gives the<br>
choice between Python 2.7 and 3.6. I read more and more articles<br>
saying that we reached a point where Python 3 became more popular than<br>
Python 2, Python 3 has now enough new features to convince developers,<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
Is it time to "hide" Python 2.7 from the default choice and only show<br>
Python 3.6 *by default*?<br>
<br>
For example, I expect a single big [DOWNLOAD] button which would start<br>
the download of Python 3.6 for my platform.<br>
<br>
If we cannot agree on hiding Python 2 by default, maybe we can at<br>
least replace the big [DOWNLOAD] button of Python 2 with a smaller<br>
button or replace it with a link to a different download page?<br>
<br>
Latest news: Django 2.0 and Pyramid 2.0 will simply drop Python 2 support.<br>
