The only thing I haven't liked when comparing 2 to 3, is how 3 is even slower. CPython is so slow, they really should start taking performance more seriously.

  Taking a guess here: Maybe all the people who are concerned about performance have moved to PyPy?

    They don't support 3 :(

      What, PyPy? Their homepage states 3.3.5 compatibility: http://pypy.org/ http://pypy.org/

        Oh, I am sure they didn't last time I checked. Thank you.

        And they're skipping 3.4 going straight to 3.5

    That or using NumPy for any arithmetic bottlenecks. But the new dict and a few other optimizations in 3.6 will make attribute lookups pretty close to C++ speed if not the same.
