Dealing with external scriptsDealing with external scriptsPosted Feb 11, 2011 22:19 UTC (Fri) by schwitrs (subscriber, #3822)Parent article: Moving to Python 3
I maintain a scientific software package which is partially written in Python, but more relevantly, has Python user scripts which I do not and cannot maintain. It is very important that old results are reproducible. A requirement of very minor, obvious changes to the scripts might fly, but the Python 2 to Python 3 transition doesn't seem to be this. Has anyone tried to deal with this sort of problem?

Yes -- most people seem to be dealing with this problem simply by sticking with Python2...

probably best not to worry. python2 will still be around for a long time. there is still plenty of FORTRAN 77 around, especially in science.
