On: New features you can't use unless you are in Python 3

Centos 6 is 7 years old, if you are still using that it is unfortunately your problem. It's not hard to write "python3" on a modern dist.

Ubuntu has 3.5 and 3.6 is easily installable though not yet default 3.x.

Just because an operating system is "old" is not a reason to change it... Also it is still supported: https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-fe8a0be91ee3e7dea81...

Yes, it is his problem. And he's solving it by using python 2. Sometimes you have to use older distributions.

You think someone is going to start a new project and use a 7 year old OS? I don't think it's "unfortunately my problem" when biz/client reqs for a 7 yo OS are completely out of my hands, unless of course the mindset is "use Python 3 or die trying".

And the other 96% of us can move on, no need to act like you're the majority.

Py 2.6 is already EOL for almost five years.

>no need to act like you're the majority

Is he making that assumption, or are you?

Let me reiterate, a 7 year old version of EOL software. Yes.
