We built a product with an embedded Jython interpreter. Jython is stuck on Python2 and somewhat abandoned. So that's nice.

Re: packages, one of the huge advantages of the C ecosystem has been that compiled packages are usually fine across language transitions, not only between major compiler version numbers but even from C to C++ which are much more different languages than Python2 to 3. How different would the Python transition have been if it were possible to load Python2 packages in a Python3 program?
