I hadn't realized how much Python 2 was holding us back until I started to dig into some of the newer packages only for Python 3. It was right around Python 3.5/3.6 when we got type hinting, dataclasses, and f-strings that there was an inflection in innovation. Maintaining code bases for both 2.7 & 3.7 basically prevented us from leveraging these features.

I call these packages Gen3. Here is my latest tool stack:

	Current Package	Role	Replaced Package(s)	Rational / Best Features
	Poetry	Project package management and publishing	pipenv flit	Package management: Resolves and installs complex data science stacks faster. Build and Publish Packages: Same tool, same pyproject.toml to manage the project packages and publish the package.
	Pydantic	Object <-> JSON parsing & validation	marshmallow dataclasses-json	Natural use of type hints Fast - Compiles with Cython.
	FastAPI	Restful APIs	flask connexion	Code rules it all including auto generation of full OAS 3.x specification. Built on top of Pydantic. Fast - Compiles with Cython.
	Prefect	Workflow	directories of numbered scripts airflow - trying to duck that generation of workflow	Run in the debugger locally. Super active development.
