Why would you not want to use Python 3?
1 comments

I think choosing to migrate to a completely different language rather than rewriting in python 3 is a totally valid strategy.

Maybe they’ve switched to c# lately and are using lack of py2 as a trigger to rewrite. Maybe going after the benefits of a compiled language. Maybe just wanting to use c# because it’s one of the best languages out there.

There are some python apps out there I’ve contributed to that I’d rather rewrite in a static type lang rather than migrate to py3. Others I’d move to py3 no problem.
