- eevee 14y agoRight. Learning Python 3, once you know 2, is really easy. Library maintainers have two problems: they have to twiddle their thumbs until all their dependencies have ported, and then they have to get their code running against both 2 and 3. The former is exactly why I'm saying to use 2 for now, and the latter is easy if you only support 2.7 but rather more difficult for projects that still want to run on some archaic thing like 2.3.
