#python2 — Public Fediverse posts

@pinskia I've been "left behind" so many times! It's always shaming and they're endlessly cheerleading and shaming. But are we really left behind while we watch them create mountains of new technical debt? #cobol #go #rust #python2 *pythhon3 #perl #lisp #forth #apl .....

En general siempre he actualizado @archlinux usando #pacman

El problema es que, si tenemos paquetes instalados desde #AUR, esos no se actualizarán.

Llevo varios años usando #Arch #Linux, y pocas veces he actualizado los paquetes de AUR (porque suelen demorar más, compilaciones, etc).

Hoy decidí hacer limpieza de paquetes obsoletos, eliminé, entre otras tantas cosas, #python2, y varios paquetes que ya no uso, y corrí #yay para actualizar todo.

Ahí está mi máquina, compilando hace +8 horas 😅

@cidra I've only ever used #Toolbox to get older versions of #Fedora running because they still have #Python2 .But I see your point!

Today I learned 'bool' is a subclass of 'int' in Python.

Before Python introduced a boolean type, it used 0 and 1 for truth values. 'bool' was later designed to behave like 0 and 1 to maintain backward compatibility.

I wonder when I'll stop finding forgotten #Python2 scripts in dusty subdirectories which need hasty updating.

Apparently it won't be today.

I still have to deal with #Python2 every day.

Everyone else?

Eh...

It's a rolling release, so it's got that going for it, but a lot/most of their custom utilities (such as the package manager) is still on Python 2, which is... not good.

/usr/bin/python is even a symlink to python2 which is really not good.

Small team. Looks like the original dev, who started a new distro, is going to re-work a lot of those things, which will be the basis for Solus going forward, so there's a lot of hope for newer and better utilities.

To be clear, my only real complaint so far is the python2-ness of it.

Also, they don't have a ksh package (which some of my scripts require), but I managed to compile the standard ksh2020.

I don't know if I will stay. #Python2 is kind of a deal-breaker.

Still slowly replicating my #KDE #Plasma setup from my work #Debian box. I have a lot of custom keybinds that make it a little more like i3/sway for me.

My other options are Debian testing, #FreeBSD (probably will lose the ability to run KSP), or #OpenSuSE tumbleweed (if they can ever just enable polkit by default, already).

Пишем приложение для SIM-карты

Приветствую всех! Думаю, многим из вас доводилось слышать такое утверждение, что SIM-карта — по сути полноценный специализированный компьютер. А раз симка — это компьютер, то, очевидно, должен быть и софт для него. Как насчёт попробовать что-нибудь написать и заставить это работать прямо на карте? Давайте разбираться. Итак, в сегодняшней статье поговорим про эту довольно редко упоминающуюся сторону сотовой связи. Узнаем, как писать приложения, чтобы они запускались на всех телефонах, от Nokia 3310 до последних айфонов. Попутно выясним, как загружать их в SIM-карты и насколько сложно это сделать, и, конечно же, напишем наш первый апплет. Традиционно будет много интересного.

Imagine:
- small custom tool in #Python2 / #Jython, bundled to an .exe
- Last time bundled was a few years back
- executable used on CI server

Then:
- suddenly all builds across the Server fail 😳
- The CI server and your own PC fail executing your small tool, saying "This application needs #Java 8" 🤔
- But your CI Server and own PC _have_ Java 8 installed 🤨
- The fellas around you have seemingly the same tools installed and can execute the tool 🧐

It is wild that, in this year of the Lord, I still have to install #python2 to get a development environment for #Google's #AppEngine. Google, aka the champions of deprecating stuff, one of the most powerful tech companies worldwide, somehow can't provide a reasonable migration path off a language that was EOL'd 4 years ago :(

Python gurus, can I wrap a function in more than one decorator at the same time? On the same topic, can I wrap a decorator in another decorator ?

Some questions regarding Ghidra:

* NetworkX libraries don't support Jython, right?
* Which Python 3.X bridge is the most used for Ghidra? Is it Ghidrathon? Or perhaps ghidra-bridge?
* Do you happen to know if there are differences big enough to worry about supporting Ghidrathon or Ghidra Bridge?

@CyDeFect @FiLiS all of these are missing too many details to tell anything about them. Except for #CIFS (although you probably don't even want that but #SMB3 instead, #Linux just kept tthe "CIFS" name although supporting SMB3), all #FreeBSD offers is indeed #SMB1. Whether this is an issue or not depends on your scenario and environment. I just offer my shares via #NFS as well, problem solved for me.

BTW, #seamonkey was removed mainly because of a #python2 (EOL for a long time) build dependency. IIRC this is meanwhile solved, so the port *could* be readded, it's just someone would have to do it and maintain it. There's an inofficial port available, you'll find it on the forums.

I'm just starting converting an old #Python2 program to #Python3 and I'm having errors when waiting for threads to stop using .join() - is this a known difference?

@orsinium @jhx Thanks for technical details! Still, it's a PITA. #FreeBSD ports have still some #python2 version (with an expiration date set in 2020!) because SOME software still needs it to build 😞

@jhx I never really tried #Python ... but this neverending story about #python2 #EOL and upstreams not managing to update their build(!) systems to #python3 (so, there must be some massive breaking changes I guess?) leaves some bitter taste....
