ActiveState Platform Demo: How to Upgrade a Python 2 Environment
Do you still maintain repositories of Python 2 code simply because the effort to migrate or rewrite it isn’t worth the time and resources involved? Our enterprise customers can use the ActiveState Platform to upgrade their Python 2 environment and create a Python 3 migration target.
The video shows how our enterprise user can create a new Python environment, import requirements from any existing Python 2 project, and then find and fix CVEs. The Platform resolves dependencies for you and ultimately builds an environment that is ready to be migrated to Python 3.
Supporting an aging codebase – especially one that contains third-party packages you didn’t create – only gets more difficult over time as bugs and security vulnerabilities inevitably crop up. Additionally, as open source supply chain attacks increase, the risk of running Python 2 code is quickly becoming unmanageable.
ActiveState can help you maintain your Python 2 code, business systems, and mission-critical deployments going forward in much the same way you maintain them today. If you have any Python 2 apps, we can help you move them to the latest version of Python 2.7 that we maintain and update to ensure you can run your Python 2 app securely. If you're looking to migrate to Python 3, we can also help with creating a target environment that is compatible with your existing configuration to help simplify your migration efforts.
