[pypy-dev] Python 2 vs Python 3 again, and a 2.x-only dependency

[Ben Jolitz]

The plea for migration probably won’t be technically-based; plenty of shops maintain special-case installations detached from the rest of the world. The issue resides in general skills and available volunteers - the more specialized the requirements, the less sustainable. Being 2-based requires expertise with 2 - there’s no other way about it. As 2 fades, that expertise will fade as well.

I doubt there’s an immediate need to move to 3 for RPython right now. There may be a need in the later future (years?). Or not.  Predicting the future is quite difficult.
