If I encounter Python 2 bugs that matter to me, I can and will fix them myself if needed, and submit or otherwise publish the change.

I'm quite certain I'm not the only one.

Why not just migrate to 3?

genuinely curious...

Because of the amount of work involved in porting my existing Python code. Python 3 doesn't offer any advantages that matter to me, so that's a lot of effort for little gain.

OK, thanks. Good luck with the bug fixing ;)

I'm not really worried about bugs, because the code I have works well, and I doubt I'm going to do any serious new Python 2 development.
