Sorry but that's not the way it works.  No one forces anyone to use
Python.  And no one forces anyone to move to Python 3.  But Python 2 is
not supported any longer, and you're on your own.  Plain and simple.
This is no different than if you chose to stay with, for example, an
obsolete version of some proprietary software package.  Lots of VB6
users out there still, but you can't seriously expect MS support or
official VB forums to be able to provided assistance do you?

You want to use an obsolete version of Python and an obsolete version of
Qt.  That's totally fine!  But why are you angry when people, who are
strictly volunteers, are unable to help much here other than to strongly
recommend you reconsider?

And indeed Python 3 is a very attractive platform to move to!

Yes many new posters seem to come along and end up in this rut.  The
lack of emotional subtext in a mailing list doesn't help communication I
admit. I've been in your shoes before and I know how frustrating it can
be to not get the answers I want to hear, but I have to admit my own
attitude determined the outcome of some of the more frustrating
exchanges I've been a part of.
