"puhleeze give us Python 3...." repeated everywhere in this comment thread, yet the authors of pypy keep responding with the same line: pay some money and we'll do it. This speaks to what the real industry users of Python already know: 2.7 is where it's at, and they're prepared to pay for that, and not 3.x. Sure there'll be a bunch of people waving the 3 flag and saying "I use it" etc, but the bottom line is the bottom line: money. 2 attracts the dough. If I were the PyPy guys I'd just announce that PyPy was now officially a fork of 2.7. This would bring all the numerical guys with them, all the corpos with big investments in 2 would fund them, and we could then let the 3.x zealots go off on their own tangent. Anybody who likes what 3.x brings to the table should really spend a weekend learning Go, which does it all better, and faster. I've been saying in these threads for ages that vectorization is the big win in Python (thank you PyPy), and not hobby projects like asyncio (miles better elsewhere), or (eyes rolling) type annotations.
