What conversions are needed for the py2.6 code?

> nobody was forced at gunpoint

The caretakers of py2 are the promoters of py3. Support was dropped for py2 without any serious effort to find new caretakers, so that the demise of py2 would promote switching.

Enough with the conspiracy theories already. There was no reason to find "new caretakers" for Python 2.7 because it's simply an old version of the language.

Reading through your posts here, I don't know what your problem is with the Python team, but please do get over it. It's incredibly annoying dealing with someone who just seems to think they're entitled for more than a decade of support of a version of their free product.

What conspiracy theory - Who decides that py2 needs to be killed off?

> but please do get over it

This is an ad hom - please make your posts more substantial, it feels like you are the one with a chip on your shoulder if you can't respond to these points. Your original comment added nothing to the thread but snark.
