It's Python 2. Not sure why anyone's writing Python 2 in 2023, but it's valid code.

Some people have legacy codebases and haven't been able to justify the workload to migrate it 😭😭😭

So common in consulting. Many customers only want new things and feel like they shouldn't have to keep paying once an initial product has been delivered. But needs change, tech moves on and things need refreshing or replacing. The hardest situation is when the client has no in-house expertise so can only assume you're trying to fleece them for more money.

The print call there is from python 2. I can do some editing to add in the brackets in a bit

I was a little cheeky there. But in all seriousness python 2 is End-of-Life and no one should use it anymore.

Come on, Python 2 only has 16 critical vulnerabilities. Live dangerously πŸ™ƒ.

Shoutouts to all people out there maintaining legacy code 🫣

Although "critical" by CVE standards could just mean ReDoS for some non user facing code and which clearly is not a security issue but still of course requires urgent dependabot warnings on some parent package which doesn't even use the not at all vulnerable code anyway...
