That's interesting, do you have a good source on that? I switched to 3.x for development but I do academic projects too.

- joshvm 11y agoI don't know about speed, most of the modules where speed matters, like Numpy, rely on calling C routines somewhere down the line. The version of Python shouldn't make a significant difference. Numpy, Scipy and Pandas work with Python 3, Jupyter certainly does. That covers probably 80% of scientific grunt work. For specialist applications, OpenCV 3.0 works, as does scikit-learn/image. I can't speak for other development like web though. I think the main problem is that if you're using someone else's code in academia, it's likely to be written in 2.7 and you would have to go through and update everything that's not back-compatible.
