    This links to a (basic) Python3 implementation which passes all the bip's test vectors.

    There are already two links to Python implementations but both are using Python2, which was EOL at the begining of the year. #962 (comment)

    I think this list of implementations has outlived its usefulness. Nearly every Bitcoin library these days implements BIP32 - way more than are listed in the BIP - and as I don't have the time to review them all, I think listing some may be misinterpreted as an endorsement by the BIP's authors.

    I think we should delete the entire section.

    I understand the possibility of misinterpretation.

    I could push a commit deleting it while i'm at it then.

    FYI: the commit which removed this does not have any explanation of why it was removed.

    Please be more careful, as the base reasoning for a change belongs in the repository itself, not on GitHub which is naturally transient.

    I would have simply quoted @sipa in the commit message in this case.
