Yes python 2 indeed

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I heard of python2, but since I started late in my coding journey I only know python3. Is it even worth learning 2?

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago

No it's unsupported

No. Definitely not. The only reason to use Python2 would be if you inherited an old code base, and then your first order of business would be migrating it to Python3.

@GenderNeutralBro @Fredselfish Yes, there is no future in maintaining code in a dead language and python2 has long since passed EOL and it should have been sooner.
