Original comment by Andrej Antonov (Bitbucket: polymorphm, GitHub: polymorphm): ok :) .. I can only hope that in the "twelve" will be code line:

Original comment by Collin Anderson (Bitbucket: collinmanderson, GitHub: Unknown): "six will be long dead and forgotten by the time Python 4 rolls around." -- I hope :). There may be people who hold out until 2020 before starting to use six, and Python 4 is scheduled for 2023. |
Why do you think Python 4 is scheduled? |
Original comment by Collin Anderson (Bitbucket: collinmanderson, GitHub: Unknown): Sorry. "Scheduled" is the wrong work.

Look how everybody uses the
... and update the documentation to match. |
I notice did not mention @benjaminp in the above comment, so he likely didn't see it and can't consider reopening this issue. Hence this comment. |
PY3 is still a time bomb and I'm starting to get pull requests to remove the use of PY3. I can't tell you how excited I am about the long tail of pull requests to replace PY3 with PY2. :( |
What other people spend their time making PRs for is rather out of my hands. |
