This is true and incomplete at the same time.
It's true that 3 is happily happening for many people, effectively and without fuss.
But it's incomplete to pretend the schism is not an issue; not to try to understand the pro-2.x points which many reasonable users have.
Its a huge issue, even now, and to pretend it's not there is to do BOTH pythons a disservice because it will simply serve to feed the disagreement, to the detriment of both flavours of the language.
The Python 3 project needs to understand where it went wrong, acknowledge it, 'better language' arguments (true-ish but largely ineffective) notwithstanding, and try to bridge the community.
Yes the 3 segment reasonably wishes all this would just go away so we can all focus on moving python forward, but it's not going away. It must be adressed without yet another post about 3 being better, which simply makes 2.7 people feel like second class citizens. They've heard all the arguments before.
