I heard of python2, but since I started late in my coding journey I only know python3. Is it even worth learning 2?

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 12 points 1 month ago

No it's unsupported

No. Definitely not. The only reason to use Python2 would be if you inherited an old code base, and then your first order of business would be migrating it to Python3.

  1. Click on article
  2. Realize article is all white so I highlight it to read
  3. I accidentally click on a Rust article in Spanish and still think it's the same article because the damn text is white
  4. Unfortunately, I'm stubborn and I can speak Spanish, and the text is still white
  5. I realize I read the wrong article

python could be something valid for a python3 script

He forgot the infamous py -3 that we had to use some time ago on... Windows IIRC. Fun times.
