That's just silly. 2.x, especially 2.6 and newer are still a fantastic choice. 3.x cleans up some ugliness, but isn't so superior that being stuck with 2.x would make ditching the language a viable choice.
You need to strike a balance between the bleeding edge and the pragmatic choice, and Python 2.x provides a _very_ good balance right now, which is why most of the interesting stuff is happening in that environment still.
- djmattyg007 16y agoI'm not thinking of ditching the language by any means. Even from the small amount I've learnt so far I think Python is amazing. It's just a bit frustrating at times when you're confused and unable to find much information about the problem you're having. And really, I don't understand the point in learning an old version of a programming language. It just means I'm gonna have to wait it out like I have with so many other things.
