FWIW; the only place I even touch Python 2 code is in Debian, 100% of
work and personal software is Python 3. So, I'm a bit of a radical here,
but I'm pretty anti-Python 2. Most of my projects don't support Python 2
at all.

I believe the shim would be to yell at the user to install a legacy
thing, not switch between the two, that was a joke Barry made during the
Language summit.


Howabout we wait until *after* we try to hash this out in person. I'll
write up thoughts and we can form consensus after, on list and in a
public way. I think the spread of opinions voiced in this thread will be well
represented in the room, so it should go well to figure out stuff that would
be practical and implementable.. If anyone has *different* oppinions, you
should give me an off-thread ping with your thoughts so I can bring them up
today.


Cheers,
