My distro also doesnt come with python2 installed any more. It can be installed seapately but of course it is depricated now so there wont be anymore updates.

I think most distros have moved to Python3. You can probably still find Python2.7 from repos, though.

Yes, you can still install it but it is dead. It was depricated in 2020.

I'm not sure why the divide between Python2 and 3 but Python3 is is where it continues to be developed and updated.

I haven't installed Python2 at this point, I might but I'd rather not just because it is depricated and there will be no more updates.

Thats exactly why I don't understand why 2.7 was chosen for Mystic Python
lang.

Python has worked well for years. Phython2 is something of a zombie now though.

I think Mystic supports Python 3 now. I like writing stuff in Python,
tbh.

2.7 was chosen long before the end of life when it was still the default version use in every major Linux and OSX release. You had to go out of your way to install Python3 at the time.

But also because of technical reasons. Python 2 has compatible codepage and string handling with Mystic, and Python 3 does not. You'll have to have a strong understanding of encoding to effeectively use Python 3 with Mystic and many people get a little lost with that stuff.
