again: not everything sits on the public internet, and by the time someone gets access to the application there are far more serious concerns then python 2 vs 3

this also really highlights the problem with python's 2 vs 3 split: there is a large body of work that will never be updated and will forever run 2 including actual web/publicly facing code. And saying "just upgrade because security" isn't going get much of that code upgraded.

and by the time someone gets acces

This sort of thinking, is why places get hacked. You don't know what the access vector is. Stop making excuses. Secure your shit.

I would be so happy if a law was passed, and such actions were criminal.
