4 years ago Hi! Sorry for not taking the time to respond you until know.
Basically, I choose Python 3 for 2 main reasons:
- With this project I started learned Python, and I didn't want to learn an already old language.
- Python 2.7 is almost 10 years old and it's well pass time for all Python projects to stop supporting it. In fact, official support for Python 2 is ending in January 1, 2020.
Luckily, with macOS 10.15 Catalina (released this week), Apple finally includes Python 3! Sadly, it looks like Apple may stop including Scripting Languages Runtimes altogether in future macOS versiones.
I hope this answer you question. Thank you for using Unlock-Redux!
Hi,
And first thank you for this Unlock version with APFS support 👍
Looks strange however, on a fresh Mac OS installation, to have to install Python3 just to be able to unlock the users' disk.
Mojave still has python2.7 built-in. Did you think about using a built-in language, such as Python2.7 then, or Bash, or... ? So that we would not have any external requirement.
Thank you 👍
