I program in python 2 because that's where /usr/bin/python takes me to. ;-)

  Believe it or not, you don't even have to change your workflow to try out python 3. If you're on a Red Hat/Ubuntu-based system just add a '3' to everything (python3, pip3, pdb3, etc) edit: added relevant platforms

    I've been bitten by Poe's Law[1], despite the winky. Blast! Edit: Really though, it's a problem of apathy. I'm supposed to care about python 3? Why? When I type "python" on the command line (and everyone else that doesn't care, which is most every "filthy casual", right?), I--and everyone else with a default install of Ubuntu and CentOS/RedHat--gets python 2. Fix that, and overnight you'll have massive python 3 uptake. In fact, you're suggesting I set myself up to be stuck with the problem Maven is in, which is that everyone has an "m2" repository even though they're onto Maven 3. I'm supposed to hardcode "3" into everything? C'mon. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law

      I believe both Ubuntu and Fedora have/are dropping Python 2 from the default install this year.
