I don't really understand why there has been so much hemming and hawing about Python 2 vs Python 3 with regard to the language itself. If you already know a few programming languages (rather than being a neophyte coder), Python 2 and Python 3 are so similar that their major differences can be summed up in one or two pages of code examples. Sure, they're not backwards compatible, but if you know one, you'll have no trouble being able to at least read and understand the other without much effort. The bigger issue is the ecosystem taking the time to catch up. Also, I'm not sure that Python 3 is really much of an improvement over 2 rather than just different.
