For those unaware - we're working on UTF8 for unicode internally in PyPy for *both* PyPy2 and PyPy3, we care about users
Still seems like work to support py2 ("we care about our users") if nobody really has a good reason to stay, no?

noone has a reason, but python 3 has 18% of downloads from pypi. So there are definitely users, we don't care why
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

They advertise PyPy3 as "beta"
-
Ah interesting. So pypy users are mostly using py2 and happy? What about features? Libs?
-
PyPy is older than Python3, so when Python 3 came out, it would have been a lot of work to support it, work that they've gradually done.
-
Also, PyPy is implemented in (a subset/dialect of) Python2 (and not changing that), which makes the transition trickier as well.
-
uh, where did you get that? PyPy supports full Python 2 (and 3 these days) INCLUDING the C API
-
RPython is based on Python 2, which is what I said.
-
yes, but this is just implementation detail - PyPy supports full Python

What I said in that tweet was "PyPy is IMPLEMENTED IN (a subset/dialect of) Python2", emphasis added.
