Python 2 end of life in 2020 * changes: ** print statement ** divides are floating point by default ** byte strings vs ascii strings and encodings, Bill has experience in this ** iterators and list comprehension behave differently ** could start with 2to3 python converter * best for users would be to support both versions * could propose as summer REU project for good student at LSU * collect census of current cluster support for python 3 and python 2
