In the previous version I trolled people by pointing out that , if what the Python project says is true and it would have been impossible to support Python 2 , then they broke it and Python 3 is not turing complete . Obviously Python 3 is turing complete , but Python project members frequently claim something this basic is impossible soooooooooooo alright . I even had a note after the gag saying it was a gag , but everyone is too stupid to read that note even when they do elaborate responses to my writing . Even more telling was when people said this was stupid , I ' d feign ignorance further and ask , Wait , so why doesn ' t Python 3 support Python 2 then ? This then sent them down a logic loop death spiral of simultaneously trying to defend the design decision and also state that Python 3 is fully capable . It was pretty funny to watch , but after a while I guess I have to straighten this out and simplify it so here you go .
