[–] Corbin@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) You may be pleased to know that PyPy's Python 2.7 branch will be maintained indefinitely, since PyPy is also written in Python 2.7. Also, if you can't leave CPython yet, ActivePython's team is publishing CPython 2.7 security patches. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] overcast5348@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago We already have contracts in place to get security patches. That's usually the InfoSec team's problem anyway. As a developer, my life gets hard due to library support. We manage internal forks of multiple open source projects just to make them python 2 compatible. A non-trivial amount of time is wasted on this, and we don't even have it available for public use. 🤷♂️ permalink fedilink source parent
