Python 2 is no longer supported, we should migrate to python 3.
Python 2 was officially sunset on Jan 1, 2020: https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/
Prior to doing this, it would be helpful to reformat some of the code - there’s a mix of tabs and spaces (switch to only using spaces)
There’s a python tool called 2to3 that should help with this conversion. Here's a really simple example. Consider an old python2 file below - where there is a print statement without parenthesis:
cat old.py print "hello, world"
We can run `2to3` on the file with the `-w` flag to edit it inline:
$ 2to3 -w old.py RefactoringTool: Skipping optional fixer: buffer RefactoringTool: Skipping optional fixer: idioms RefactoringTool: Skipping optional fixer: set_literal RefactoringTool: Skipping optional fixer: ws_comma RefactoringTool: Refactored old.py --- old.py (original) +++ old.py (refactored) @@ -1 +1 @@ -print "hello world" +print("hello world")
You can see the print function was modified to convert it to something that's acceptable in python3.
