News The Move to Python 3 Begins!

As someone who spent decades in the mainframe community, I find it ... humorous ... that there are legacy Python2 code bases that are only just (or have yet to consider!) moving to Python3.

HA! I was a programmer on the iSeries until around 2012. I installed it on the system, however, there were no programmers who knew it, so it died right there. There are nuances that pertained to file access that made it tedious, but it would have been decent.

Nice to see some graybeards.
