I'm not sure why you're pointing fingers about being political when you're the person introducing the politics. I don't know why you're positioning python3 as an entirely different language—this discounts hundreds of thousands (millions?) of hours the python community has put into ensuring one of the smoothest transitions between incompatible language versions. This is also not mutually exclusive with projects like PyPy (which has python3 compatibility, I might add) and pyjion.
Sometimes fragmenting languages, as python did with 2 and 3, is necessary. It always sucks. I don't think your entirely negative and substance-less beef with python3 is adding anything to the conversation about PyPy's c api changes.
