Python 3: ten years later
summary
Ten years of concrete results: a gradual migration strategy replaces all‑at‑once porting, new tooling and soft‑transitions make incremental work feasible, and distributions ship installers by default. pip becomes de facto installer and tools like six, modernize, futurize and mypy enable file‑by‑file ports; corporate efforts and CI plus tests move huge codebases — Dropbox ports five million lines with typing. Benchmarks show Python 3 faster overall and Instagram cuts CPU 12% and memory 30%.
