09/28/2018, 4:47 PMI am going to give a talk about Pants at PyCon.DE in a few weeks. I will probably present some of the content from my example repository https://github.com/StephanErb/pexample. If anyone of you has input on content you’d expect to heat about or stuff you’d think is important for a regular Python conference audience, please let me know!

09/28/2018, 4:50 PMNice!

09/28/2018, 4:52 PMOn the negative side, these 2 things:
https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/issues/523
https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/5406
I'm not saying I want you talk about these - but they represent real problems - interpreter selection "roulette" as a colleague called it just this am, and group dependency resolution instead of individual.

09/28/2018, 4:58 PMProbably I will get tons of questions on Python 3. How would you consider the status here? Pants itself is still in Python 2 but supports Python 3 just as well as Python 2?

09/28/2018, 4:58 PMYup - exactly.

09/28/2018, 4:59 PMWe just had a big influx of work from Foursquare to make Pants itself 2/3 compat though with an eye towards moving to 3 and dropping 2 as the runtime - probably by early next year at this point, but maybe sooner.
