Python is a very odd choice. I’m sure it could trivially replaced with Lua if one were so inclined.

MOAI does this in Lua already. Maybe the OP just wanted to use a language they liked.

He mentioned he wrote a script in python for blender somewhere. Perhaps that's just what he was familiar with.

I like python, but 2.7 is going to be dead in a year and 3 months. It's time to start implementing your migration to 3.x, not creating new projects running 2.7; that's madness.

You're mistaken. Python 2.7 will still be here in a decade, and people might even still write code against it.

I don't think zealotry or being pushy is productive. Software doesn't rust, and 2.7 is a perfectly fine choice.

Sure. You're also free to pick COBOL as your side project's scripting language, if you want to make absolutely certain no one ever uses it.

More pushiness. This is a Show HN. We're supposed to be offering positive and helpful feedback.

Yes. "Not supporting the current version of python means some people who like and want to use your software will not do so" is constructive actionable feedback.

If only you had posted that and left it at that.

It's about as constructive and actionable as: "It's open source, you can implement it yourself and submit a pull request."

Not everyone dances to the technologists' warped beat
