If you are using Python for web development there is a good chance you are using the Python 2.x branch. Why? Because almost all the libraries that you would need were written in 2.x. This includes the some of the more popular frameworks. There are a few things preventing widespread adoption of Python 3.x for web. This was one of them. Most people though (including myself) are quite happy to keep using 2.x. We all know Python 3 is here and is the future. We also know upgrading to be relatively painless. But for the most part the Python community values stability and 2.x makes most people happy. So for now I am just keeping an eye on 3.0 and seeing what web frameworks are going to pop up using it before I consider any type of move.
