  • placeholder

    Fork of Python 2.7 with new syntax, builtins, and libraries backported from Python 3.

    • If you want forks there are forks. Off the top of my head, Redhat is supporting Python 2 for several more years and there's a project called Tauthon [1] that is "Python 2.8" in spirit. I'm sure there's more efforts I'm not aware of.

  • pip

    The Python package installer

    • Doesn't look great: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5216

    Sounds like 'pip search' will either be deprecated, or replaced with a client side search that requires a fairly big download.
