Especially if you're paying for one of the better services, like Andrews and Arnold etc. They have caps listed on their broadband pages. There have been regular stories where customers have been sent letters about their bandwidth usage even though they're on 'unlimited' plans. The ISPs generally refer to clauses in ToS, which (imho) doesn't mean anything can be 'unlimited'.
A couple of petabytes in a month? A 1Gbit connection does about 75 Terabytes a week so unless you have a truly exceptional connection, that seems excessive
I did a similar exercise late last year, using opencv v4 beta and python. I defaulted to py3. And immediately had problems, even with example-ish code. Camera misconfiguration and intermittent latency excursions, IIRC. So I backtracked to the "road well traveled" of py2. Which just worked.
While I understand the desire for a unified Python ecosystem as much as anyone - this kind of pettifogging is not going to convince anyone to switch to Py3.
Consider if the authors of the article had used (for example) Ruby - you probably wouldn't ask why they didn't do it in Python3, so why do you do it if they write it in Python2?
4 months 25 days 5 hours left until Python 2 is retired. After that point it will no longer be maintained by the Python project.
Of course Linux distros and companies will keep Python 2 running for years to come because of all of the tools that are Python 2 only.
New projects ought to be written in Python 3. However, in this case my guess would be that OP probably used Python 2.7 because macOS ships with Python 2.7 preinstalled.
So if we could, Apple are the ones that we ought to speak to. Convince Apple to ship macOS with Python 3 pre-installed.
The switch from Python 2 to 3 was slowed down tremendously because major libraries did not fully support Python 3 immediately. The question regarding the dependencies was legitimate.
With respect, if nobody finds the issues in the upstream dependencies and works to make them compatible with Python 3, they won't be supported. That would be a shame for this project and others that use the same upstreams.
I'd have hard time finding support for some Ruby 1.8 upstream dependencies for recent projects, so I don't agree with you.

It doesn't require ID but is verified against other records and against the electoral register in other regions, i.e. you can't register in two different places. When housemates have moved out I have received letters asking me to re-confirm who is living in the house for the electoral register.
> I think this is a big part as to why postal voting fraud happens.
It might happen, but it is exceptionally rare. The impact of introducing voter ID laws would cause a far larger decrease in election validity due to voter suppression than postal voting fraud causes.
I take your point but you can't also discount the air quality in cities being quite a big factor as to becoming less dependent on cars. LEV's (Low Emission Vehicles) are taxed less, for example (although the infrastructure is still lacking, perhaps CAV's (Connected Autonomous Vehicles) may one day solve that as parking could be placed further away and there may be more of a 'sharing' system in place, such that you don't really own a car, just dial one up like an Uber)
