Please give me a break. That was just a simple question. Besides, I really
don't understand why the Python development community is dropping support
for Python 2 unless for stopping to support standard computers altogether...

Why would dropping support for python 2 indicate an abandonment of
conventional desktop computers and operating systems?  Python3 is not a
mobile language. Why do you think it is?

Are you trolling? Do you understand that a modern mobile device typically
require a Internet subscription and an additional subscription for the
smart phone?


I'm not trolling. I genuinely don't understand where you're coming from.
What does python3 have to do with mobile development? I know of very little
mobile development happening with any version of python.


Do you really think people in Somalia can afford theses things like in the
US?


I can assure you that smart phones have made waves even in Somalia. As far
as it goes, I'm quite sure a smart phone is way cheaper than a desktop or
laptop.

But again I don't understand why you're talking about mobile as if python
is somehow abandoning desktop. You're coming from a false premise with that
one.
