</span>Which is why we've been pushing toward python 3 for years now. It's<br>
default for python apps in distros now, gates are holding the line at the<br>
unit test level now, so we just need a push toward integration testing<br>
and I truly believe we'll be seeing people use python3 and pypy to run<br>
OpenStack in the next year.<br></blockquote><div><br><div>Kuryr kubernetes integration is python 3 only, as it is asyncio based.

<br>
And regarding not scaling: That's precisely what's being discussed,<br>
and it seems like there are plenty of options for pushing python further<br>
that aren't even half explored yet. Meanwhile, if enough people agree,<br>
perhaps go is a good option for those areas where we just can't push<br>
Python further without it already looking like another language anyway.<br>
