This has potential but why 3? Why not 2.7?

Also, what about asynchronous operations?




2.7 is a dead end. Python 3 is now at least 7 if not 8 years old. Brython was obviously created with the future, not the past, in mind.


lot of libraries won't work with python 3 which is why 2.7 still matters, besides, plenty of people prefer 2.7 over 3, 3 is kinda weird.

A lot of libraries actually work with python 3. And most of them that don't have a python 3 version in the pipe.

Why? Print is a function instead of a statement? I don't do much python anymore, since I graduated from pygame to DirectX, but the differences in python 3 seem pretty minor, aside from needing external libs upgraded.


Lots of libraries won't work with Brython either.
