It isn't a success when compared with other languages, no. I myself am a bit guilty. I have nothing against Python 3, but it is almost as if I want to "stay out of it" so I tend to default to using 2.7. I think my use of Python overall (like others in this thread have mentioned) has decreased as a result of the 2-vs-3 move. There are other reasons, but the 2-vs-3 added to the list of reasons to make me reexamine building new projects in Python.
