Hey I was playing around with some Python scripts and noticed a message I got that Python 2.7 reached the end of life on January 1st, 2020. Are there any plans on upgrading to 3.0+?

Python 2 and python 3 are quite different and so that's why python2 is
still a thing since it is still needed by python2 stuff.

Python2 is good also for what it is/was.

There won't be any updates for it anymore, maybe security updates??

Best to develop with python3 but I think python2 will be around as long as
it's needed.

I assume you're talking about Mystic in particular, and on that front, I haven't read anything from g00r00 that indicates to me that it's something that'll get done any time soon. But I also missed a few months of g00r00
posts.

But that's not inside information. Still, if I were the wagering type, I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

I think that is the big question for many of us using Mystic. Python 4 is on the horizon and 2.7 is so, so old. Support for Python 3.x would be really, really great.
