		wiz21 on May 26, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Python 3 is killing Python Maybe there are thousands of unported stuff but frankly, how much of that is useful/ready for production use (production=paid software with bug translating to losses) ? I'm perfectly fine with Pyside, SQLAlchemy, ReportLab and a bunch of few other things. I don't need the n-th lib with half baked, unicode broken, poor error handling, non portable, Disney-tested stuff. So, if only 10% of the libs have moved and those are the production quality stuff, then fine. What a useless article.

Have to agree here.

Most of the libraries I'd actually trust for more than a one off script are already ported or have plans for porting.

I wouldn't trust a lot of the unported libraries in a serious Python 2 project, anyway.
